Definition of Learning

Kerrisha Gayle has just submitted the following definition of learning to my Learning Forum:

"Learning is a process of Mental, Physical and Spiritual development. Development is advancing and growth. Development is proof that learning has taken place. One has to apply him or her self to a given situation and or context in order for learning to occur."

This broadens the definition of learning.

Language Learning

I have just booked a holiday in Italy and I would like to learn a bit of the language before I go. Learning grammar and vocabulary like I did at school doesn't work too well for me so does anyone have any ideas for learning a new language?
