Best way to learn italian?

I would love to learn italian as fast as possible, as I am in love with an italian man. The local university at which I am studying does not offer courses in italian, unfortunately.

English to Italian translation…?

All my true italian speakers how would you say... I hate fake people... in italian. i dont want no babel fish translation... lol

I hear that all three languages are somewhat similar because of their Latin roots. Would this fact enable me to learn one of two languages easier than learning something like Tagalog(although this has some words similar to Spanish words), Nihongo, or Mandarin?

I am hoping to take a language course in college, but I can't decide between the two :) .

Italian language?

What do Tvb and Xk mean in Italian?

I want to try growing a tree in the South of England. SO I need unprocessed ones. I am talking about chestnuts up to 2" (5cm) in girth.

I know that this is America,and the official language is English,but in many ethnic communities,you'll always hear persons that can speak another language other English at home.Most Italian Americans that Ive known can only speak English,and not Italian.
It seems that only their ancestors could speak Italian,and not 21 Italian Americans.I ask this question because,I was always
interested in Italian culture of America with the Italian language
of America today.
Mexicans,Puerto Ricans,Asians,and some Africans have their
language,but not Italians,and I think Italians along with Greeks,
were more ethnic than most Caucasian Americans.
Italian is a beautiful language,but in my opinion,there are no Italian-Americans that can speak Italian.

I have a choice of learning either Spanish or French although I'm most interested in learning Italian. So if I knew French would it be easier for me to learn Italian from it ... or vise versa with Spanish. Which language would be better to learn if I was interested in learning Italian right after? Would either help the learning process for Italian or would there be no difference? Thanks
