Answer :

Start with the conventional ways (books, classes, software) but you definitely want to plan some travel there. Not only will it give you a chance to practically flex your language muscles but it will completely amp your interest to learn more. Of course that can be expensive so in some places there are social groups/clubs that get together based on language. You might want to volunteer with a cause or group that operates in that language. Maybe work even has opportunity to educate you and give you responsibility in your language of choice. Find anyway you can to immerse yourself and use that language, it’s the only thing that will truly build solid acquisition skills. On the other hand, I’ve seen many more friends learn another language by dating someone that didn’t speak English than friends that were actually trying to learn. Hee.
