Oh wow you're super brave to learn Italian, I always say that if it weren't my first language I wouldn't, not in a million years. It's not any harder than say, French or Spanish, but we have a lot of peculiarities re: pronunciation and dialects and slangs that change a lot according to the different geographical area the speaker is from, and ARGH.
Anyway. Duolingo is very nice to get a handle of the basics though! I'm using it to keep my Russian vocab fresh and to start figuring out Polish (help!!) but if you're feeling adventurous I suggest looking up people on youtube (for example I stumbled on Lucrezia's channel while I was looking for a completely different thing and it seems nice? She speaks slowly and she sometimes gives useful tips for being a tourist in the wild lol).
I really hope you get to come here! Italy is beautiful, and I don't say that just because I'm high key biased hehe. Thanks for saying hello <3
