I presume you are trying to learn a foreign language, and that's the reason for the question. \nBest way is to start listening to to music in that language. Also watch a lot of TV programs  - it all helps you to get your "language ear" tuned in. That means you will start to get used to the sounds of that language, and it will help you recognize some new words you hear/learn. This is also a big confidence booster - recognizing the word and thinking "Hey, I know that word!"\nSecondly, enter a language class. Do some research and find a class that will suit you best, depending on what you are aiming to learn (speaking/reading/writing). Also make sure the teacher/tutor uses the foreign language in class to actually teach it. Let me explain. In some language classes, the teacher uses the speaker's first language to teach the new language. It sometimes help a little when explaining difficult grammar or vocabulary. But it's important that you hear this new language in class more than you hear your native language. That why there is such a big demand for English teachers in Asian countries - so the kids can learn from a foreigner, in the foreign language.\nThirdly, try to get a language exchange going. There are many websites on the internet where they advertise for people, who are trying to improve their writing skills in different languages, to communicate with each other. Try one of those. Or even better, register on http://www.eslbase.com It's a database for people who want to improve their language speaking skills. They use Skype to talk with each other and so improve their skills. \nWhatever you do, just remember that learning a language takes a lot of time. Most people can only master a spoken language after 4 to 5 years of intensive study, preferably in the country where they speak that foreign language. \nSo, go for it, and good luck!\nPS. I'm an English teacher in Taiwan, and I've been studying Chinese for 3 years. And still I can't speak it properly. But, it's worth the effort.

I believe the best way to learn any language, especially for children, is the way you learn your first language--through listening and speaintimidatedeating, and repeating.  One word at a time will build vocabulary in words we use everyday.  For example, start with breakfast.  Name the foods in English.  Begin with a few.  Add new words as old are mastered.  Don't try to do more than the children can handle.\n\nMusic is also excellent.  There are many wonderful English language children's songs that make learning fun.  For example "Coconut Soap" teaches parts of the body.  "Wash my cheeks"  you rub cheeks.."wash my arms" you rub arms etc.  This can also be used with teens if you tell them they need to learn it to teach the younger children (otherwise they might be "too cool" to sing a kid's song).\n\nThere are also numerous ESL schools that cater to children.\n\nIf your children are older you might connect them with an English speaking e-pal so that they can practice their writing and at least feel unintimidated by using a foreign language.\n\nBest of luck.  A TESOL Certified teacher.\n\nThe most important thing is to keep learning fun and interesting.

Right now I'm in the middle of learning Spanish.  I'm in highschool, but I am progressing rather quickly.  I just started this year, but I have been taking french for a few years, and I am also learning italian.  That has really helped me with vocab and such.\n\nA few tips...\n\nWhen learning a language, the key is practice, practice, practice!  Learn with a friend... you guys can have conversations with eachother and that really helps.  \n\nRent movies that were originally in spanish.  Watch it first without subtitles and see how much you can understand, then watch again with the subtitles so you can get a better understanding, and pick out some words.\n\nMusic.  I'm telling you, it's the best.  Listening to music in Spanish will really help your pronunciation, even if you dont understand all the words.\n\nKeep a notebook of words that you want to know how to say in Spanish... for example, since you don't speak fluently yet, your conversations may be in a sort of "spanglish".  Any words you don't know in spanish, write down and ask your tutor for a translation and proper usage.\n\nI hope that was helpful!

Languages are learnt by absorbing it's dialects by the subconcious mind. When you learn a language when you are grown up it is harder to learn it. The same language would have been learnt easily had it been learnt in childhood. For example , if you begin to learn chinese it is extremely difficult when you are grown up as your concious mind interferes with the learning process but have you noticed that the chinese children have mastered it since their early years? The same Logic holds true for all languages.\n\nNow coming to the central point of using a language. This is governed by your mood & your requirement of Communicating. The best of the best speakers communicating in many languages  ALWAYS curse , use unusable words in THEIR MOTHER TONGUE. But when it comes to meeting their needs they revert to what will benefit them the most. For example ,according to your moods, governed by the subconcious partly residing in the Right brain you will pass comments on a woman/man you have a crush on, in a language she/he won't understand in a Public place. So you can see that the usage of language is governed by your mind especially the subconcious.

I took the easy way, and went to the country to learn the language. When I say the easy way, it has a double meaning. Anyway, I learned French in the USA, in highschool, and I can give you some tips. \n\nPractice as much as you can. A computer program is a good thing to learn vocabulary. Use online translators, too, but don't get caught up with them for translating sentances or big texts -- because they wont do you any good. Read a verb book, and start to learn your verbs, because once you know the basic conjugations for verbs, you'll be able to conjugate any very you want to. \n\nTo be able to retain everything you learn, you need to practice. I've been speaking French for 5 years now (I went and lived in Paris for 6 months and when I left, I spoke flawlessly). Now that I have been speaking Spanish for 8 months, I find it hard to speak french, and some spanish words come out. That's because I have been so focused on Spanish and I haven't put to practice my French in a while.  \n\nIf you know words in Spanish, try to think of things when you look around your room, and tell the object to yourself in Spanish. Like others said, watch TV, movies, listen to music, anything to let your ear hear spanish. You're only going to learn if you look up the words that you don't know, because if you're listening to spanish all day and not relating a word to english (or any other language you know) you wont learn.\n\nIt's fun to learn another language once you learn the first. It's easier, like everyone says, because you do things better from when you learned your first language. I worked harder learning spanish, maybe it's because I am older (well I am 20 years old) but I just know how things work. \n\nTake your time and the language will come. Don't make it feel like a chore because it's not. It should be fun learning another language... because so many people in the USA only speak one language, already you're showing interest in other cultures, wanting to learn about another way of communicating -- it's great.\n\nI dont know if you want to speak Spain spanish, Mexican spanish, or Argentine Spanish (what I speak) but go to www.clarin.com. It's Buenos Aires' newspaper online. Print a small paragraph and highlight all the words you dont know. Honestly, it takes time, but it helps. Then you can try reading something else, after learning the highlighted words, and you'll be amazed how much more you'll understand.\n\nTo memorize, you have to practice, practice, practice. I hope this helps a little. Preguntame si necesitas ayuda! Que disfrutes!

If you have money and time, the easiest way is to move to the country that speaks that language. You will learn very fast and very well that way.\n\nOtherwise, the best way is a combination of:\n1. School instruction\n2. Friends that speak that language, whom you can practice with (if possible)\n3. Audio tapes\n\nIf this is the best answer, please vote that this is the best answer. Thanks!

First, study the language. That is the most important thing. After you know the language, you can go on to more stuff.
