Learning Italian

I'm going on a 2-week-trip with my best friend to Italy by the end of July. When going to a "foreign country" I'm always scared that people will ask me something in a language I don't understand. That's why I'm kind of obsessed with learning foreign languages. It started when I was little with the English language. My favourite thing to do during vacations was translating English Vogues, I seriously spent hours writing everything down in Dutch.
Four years ago I went to Spain for the first time. I got really frustrated when I couldn't understand a thing from what the Spanish people were saying so when I returned home I began a do-it-yourself course in Spanish!
And now it's Italian. It definitely is more difficult than Spanish but it does help that I know quite some words in Spanish. The pronunciation is really different though. But I can count already!! I can feel your curious... Let me show you:

uno
due
tre
quattro
cinque
sei
sette
otto
nove
dieci
undici
dodici
tredici
quattordici
quindici
sedici
diciasette
diciotto
dicianove

Molto bene, eh?
