Well, here I am, rolling along with the Italian. I haven't had a conversation with a real person yet, but I have practiced a few of the Pimsleur lines with one of my Italian-speaking friends. I have trouble getting up to the speed they have even in the Pimsleur lessons, nevermind actual Italian speed, but I have a feeling it will come in time.
The Pimsleur lessons just keep building. I like what they are going through now: question words. Che cosa is "what", quando is "when", dove is "where", chi is "who". You can make questions without using these words, just by taking a sentence and using a question intonation, but that sort of only gives you yes-no answer questions. "You'd like to eat." versus "You'd like to eat?", basically.
