Sign up for classes at a local university or community college. You may also want to look into taking courses at a school specifically geared toward languages; these often offer intensive programs that are designed to help you learn a foreign language quickly. Check online for course opportunities as well, since they're often less expensive than in-person options. Do your Italian homework. There's no sense in taking a language class unless you're going to do all of the homework and exercises. They may seem tedious, but they're absolutely necessary, since learning a brand new language takes hours and hours of practice. Participate in class discussions. Raise your hand a lot to answer the instructor's questions. Speaking out loud as often as possible and getting feedback on your pronunciation will help you improve much faster than if you listen quietly in the back of the classroom. Companies like Rosetta Stone offer software to help you learn languages quickly and on your own time. These language packages have an audio component so you can hear Italian pronunciation and practice it yourself, too. Language software can be expensive, so look into buying a used CD collection or going in on it with a friend who wants to learn Italian, too. Having one-on-one instruction is invaluable when it comes to learning a new language. Hire a tutor to help you excel in the classes you are taking. Even if you aren't taking classes, consider meeting with a language tutor a few times a week so that he or she may provide the instruction you need to effectively learn Italian. Check your university's message boards for graduate students or others proficient in Italian who may advertise tutoring services. Your university's language department may also have a list of tutors available for students. If you aren't affiliated with a university, look online for people advertising tutoring services. You can work with someone who is actually in Italy by using Skype or another online video program.

Q: Focus your attention outward rather than in. Direct yourself to focusing on loving and helping others. Loving and helping others may boost your self-esteem and make you feel much better about yourself. This love may also be reciprocated, making you feel even better and more comfortable in your own skin. There are a number of ways to care more about others. You can: Buy tickets for the people behind you in line at the movies. Donate your time to a charitable cause you care about. Buy a nice warm blanket or meal for a homeless person. Spend time thinking about what makes someone in your life great. Write him a letter saying as much and thanking him for being a part of your life. You may not be able to look in the mirror because you don't like how you look. While for the most part, your physical appearance is there to stay and it is psychologically important to learn to embrace yourself for who you are, you can in some cases take steps to actively change the way you look. If you are struggling with accepting the way you look and you are overweight, engage in steps to reduce your body fat. Try eating slightly smaller meals, say, by 10-15%; do your best to get regular exercise. If you do not like the way you look, you can also try giving yourself a make-over. Go buy some new clothes, get a new haircut, try out some new make-up. Take a peek in the mirror and see what you think! If your negative thoughts stem from something you did or something you think about yourself, you may benefit from talking with someone about how you feel. Let your feelings be known and this can help to heal them. Ask a friend to talk about what is bothering you. You may find that even venting and getting things off your chest is helpful. Talk to a therapist. Seek out a psychotherapist in your area to help you work through your problems. To find a local therapist, do an internet search with the terms "psychotherapist + your city's name or zipcode." You can also try searching for a therapist here: http://locator.apa.org/index.cfm?event=search.text If you are feeling small and don't want to look in the mirror, try expanding your posture. Studies show that by 'power posing' in this way for 2 minutes, you can come to actually feel more powerful and confident. To expand your posture, tilt your head back slightly, extend your arms or put them on your hips, stretch out your legs, and/or expand your chest. Go in front of the mirror and tell yourself you will only look at yourself in the mirror for 2 seconds. Glance up at the mirror, look yourself right in the eyes while counting to 2. Once you are able to do this, increase the time to 3 seconds, then 4, then 5. This is called exposure therapy and it can be an effective technique to overcome anxiety issues.
A: Love others. Try changing what you can. Get outside help. Expand your posture. Start small.
