I found the podcast from Radio Lingua Network / italian very good and they are free . They also come with pdf? downloads for a tiny one off charge. I also use audio books which can be bought online .I am using Earthworm Italian at the moment. This comes in book one and two . There are many others and for all different levels . Rosseta stone also was useful but was expensive. The main thing I find is that I do most of my learning when I am in Italy and listening to people speaking. They always slow down and repeat when I ask them in our little village where virtually no English is spoken. Is there any where close to you that you can get an Italian newspaper so that you can translate it bit by bit. O.H. finds the sport pages good as he can translate it easily as he knows what it is about. Hope this helps a bit.
