I have had a crush on Italy and the Italian language ever since I visited Sicily for the first time in the late 1970's. The view from the window in my modest "pensione" was breathtaking beautiful, and the scent of perfume in the air, from the overwhelming amount of flowers in Taormina in the spring, had an unforgettable impact on my senses.
However what really knocked me out was the Italian language: The words caressed me like a lover's touch - even though I did not understand Italian. The reason I am telling you this is to illustrate that in order to learn a language: you need a drive. And what better drive is there than being attracted?
So far so good! Now you need a method to achieve your goal. In my opinion, as a trained language teacher, you have two choices: you can do it the hard way or you can have fun while you're doing it. No need to ask me, what I would choose!
By doing it "the hard way" I am referring to formal school training using textbooks that makes you yawn, and are loaded with grammar rules. "Research has proven that less than 5 percent of language students are able to endure the stressful nature of formal school training to continue studying the language for more than two years" (Asher, James. 1982. Principles and Practice in Second Language Acquisition. New York: Pergamon Press, 9-32).
Having fun while you are learning Italian can be achieved in several ways. The absolute most perfect way is undoubtedly to travel to Italy and interact in real life with Italian people. The second best way to learn to speak Italian is with an interactive audio course combined with entertaining learning games.
By listening to native Italians speaking an up-to-date Italian, you will be able to understand the spoken word in a very short time, and the learning games will help you expand your vocabulary and learn and memorize the Italian verbs. A huge advance with the games is that they are great fun, and you can do them whenever it is convenient for you.
