Is it hard to teach yourself Italian?

I want to learn how to speak Italian, but my mom doesn't want to buy me Rosetta Stone and she said that the only way I'm going to learn Italian is if I teach it to myself. I already bought a Italian-English Dictionary and I know the days and months, but that's about it. How hard would it be to teach myself?

I don't know how to read this italian guy?

We have an international student from Italy and I got to meet him yesterday. He let me into my friends building and later I went back downstairs to wash a dish and he was in the hallway with one of his suitemates. I started washing the dish and one of my friends started talking to him and I told my friends to look at my pictures from my trip to Italy. As soon as I said that he perked up and asked who went to Italy. I told him that I did and he asked me where I went. His eyes just lit up and I had his full attention at this point. I told him where I went and he told me that he was from Naples, Italy. I told him that I had went to Naples before by accident and it was a disaster. He got from where he was sitting to come and sit at a table across from me to talk. I told him my story and got up and sat somewhere else. Then I said that I had fun even though I didn't speak English for 2 months. He asked me if I spoke Italian and I said yes and he had a huge smile on his face. And then he asked me to speak in italian in italian and then we started talking in italian. He asked me if I was born in Italy and I told him that my dad was born in Calabria. He told me that his great-grandfather was from Calabria. Then I had to leave and he said bye to me. I saw him again today from a brief moment and he said hi. I don't really describe his facial expressions through all this but he just lit up. When I talked to him, it felt like we were the only 2 people in the room even though there were 2 other people. I'm not used to a guy actually caring what I have to say. I really think that this year we are going to become friends. Is this just an italian guy thing or could he be somewhat interested in me?

I've never spoken a word of Italian before, so I'm a real beginner. Is there a website that'll teach me the meanings, pronunciations and spellings of Italian VERY SLOWLY?

Hello, If possible can someone who speaks fluent Italian translate the following from English for me:

My Beautiful Daughter
My Beautiful Son

How important is it to know Italian?

Im going to italy in august and I do not speak italian.. nor have I ever taken a course. Do most people speak at least some enlgish? Or do the italians get upset if you don't speak their language the way the french do?
I do plan on learning italian I just wont have time before I leave.

I'm trying to say, "truth, goodness, and beauty, are different faces of the same". Is anyone fluent in italian who can tell me if it is said "La verità, la qualità e la bellezza sono ma fronti differenti degli stessi"
its an emerson quote so i am trying to keep it as close to the actual quote as possible... its for a tattoo... do you think it would be better if i just left it in english?

I'M AN ITALIAN SPEAKER.
But I have often read your answers about this.
And I wondered that many persons answered that Italian is easy. That's right for Spanish or French native speakers (there strong similarities).
But I can't judge this issue.I can't say it's wrong

Please in your answer, give me following DETAILS:
- YOUR NATIVE LANGUAGE
- YOUR KNOWLEDGE OF ITALIAN
Attention,
This question is on AnswerUSA pages.

Or, how do your parents talk about them as you grow up?
How do you personally feel about them?
Dislikes/Likes, etc.

How do I say this in Italian?

I don't really trust translators. I speak English and Spanish fluently and I know that when I translate a sentence from English to Spanish the order of words and such don't make much sense. Does anyone speak Italian well and can translate this for me? Thanks in advance =)
