My main advice would be don't worry re making mistakes, just push yourself to speak and surround yourself with as many Italians as possible!
Good luck!

I did a months intensive course and then after that had private lessons once a week. I think the most important thing is to make sure you make italian speaking friends so you can use the language regularly. And make sure they dont want to just practice their english on you!
