I feel like I’m going to have many adventures in Italy on vacations so would like to learn the language. What are the best ways to lean a new language? I can remember the basic but would like to learn full sentences. Would watching Italian childrens TV on YouTube be beneficial.

I think watching children’s shows or youtube is a good idea.
My uncle and his father learned English in about three months watching soap operas and Sesame St.

I think the best thing you can do to make progression is to do face to face language classes. You learn much quicker in a real life setting than online.
That being said I’ve done both and think they are complementary.

Va bene 15 characters
imo the fastest way would be to watch a movie or a tv show you enjoy dubbed with subtitles and keep a dictionary at hand. Look every word you don´t understand. The goal is not to watch the movie, it´s to repeat every fragment until you understand everything.
Over time you start not needing subtitles anymore…
Other than that language immersion can be scary, to try and talk to someone in a foreign country without knowing too well the language. But it´s the easiest, fastest and better results ways of learning a new language (you need to be a little bit bold for this aswell 
).

Try Duolingo. You can use their Website or app. They have free and paid options. Very helpful.

My Mom was Italian.
I understand the spoken word for most part and can speak it a bit
Writing in Italian is a bit off.

Somehow, I don’t know how, I got access to Mango language program on my kindle fire free because I live near a university. I got it through the library.
There is another way, it’s CD’s. I did that for years. I’d do it at night with the lights turned off and my eyes closed.
There’s books you can learn from and I’ve done that too.
I was trying to learn Spanish which is a phonetic language. It sounds as it looks.
Imo it’s best to only choose one method.

Good point @Jinx … one may argue that one language is easier to learn for some people than others, just by it´s phonetic consistency!
