Are we talking about learning to say things like 'Alas, my postillion has been struck by lightning'? If so count me in; I could just have used that phrase last week!

Try "Lo Zingarelli", an Italian dictionary/encyclopedia which is a complete grammar education -- it is in Italian, including all descriptions and references, but is lavishly illustrated, and has many sections sorted according to everyday usage, and the ordinary course of your everyday life. BTW, when you CAN find it, it's expensive, but will last a lifetime!
