I know this might sound weird, but I'd buy some language learning kits, the ones with tapes or cds and a workbook in them... and then pop the tape in at night while you're sleeping, it helped me out some. Languages are learned best when the person is at a very young age but the older you are the harder it is to learn.

The most effective way is to practice with a fluent Spanish speaker.  I remember when I was learning in school, I surrounded myself with Spanish speakers so that I could practice. Also, Michel Thomas has a program that's supposed to be good.

You cannot learn any language "quickly". Languages necessarily take time to learn. Anyway, if you want to hurry it up, try being exposed to the language just as much as you can.

The best way to learn english is to first go through a few books for grammitical rules. Then next you build your vocabulary. This can be done by reading a few good books. Finally you need to learn to speak. This is done by carrying out frequent conversations with your friends, relatives and other people. Start using Yahoo! voice chat to talk to people!!

The best way to learn any language is to match yourself up with a tutor who is a native speaker of the language you want to learn and is of the opposite sex.  There does not have to be any romantic chemistry, but people learn languages better from people of the opposite sex because they tend to watch their lips more.  Concentrate on conversation about things you want, learning from books and doing drills and exercises is simply ineffective.

honestly I don't know why you would want to do this, but the best way to learn a language is to go live in the country. If you can't afford that, take some classes, listen to tapes in your car, and above all, watch as many movies in the language as possible...that's a great way to hear the language spoken colloquially and get as close to the real experience as is possible in the confines of your living room

I speak about 3 languages and have found some good tips...\n\n1. Offer yourself true submersion. Try to "think" in the language. Try to find better ways to say things.\n\n2. Learn the idiomatic expressions of the language, even if you don't understand their structure. This is because it gives you a good insight in how one expresses themself in the language. For example, I speak Malagasy, the native language of Madagascar. When one needs to use the restroom while on the bus, it's proper to scream "People aren't chickens!" It shows a lot of how they speak. It shows a lot of their culture. Most importantly though, the way they say it gives a bit of insight into the way the express themselves and structure sentences.\n\n3. Don't mistake the written language for the spoken language. If speaking is what you want to do, listen to how people talk. Don't worry as much about regurgiating what you read. Just like english, our spoken language is a bit different from our written language. \n\nThere are numerous other tips I could give you. Feel free to ask more if you like. \n\nFor the record, I speak French, Malagasy, intermediate German, and a bit of Zulu.

The best way to learn a foreign language, is to go to the country and stay there for some period of time. \nYou can also do some self-learning by watching TV or movies in that language, take some courses and make some friends who are able to teach you to speak the language.

Here are some tips which may help you to master the English Language!\n\nSpeak without Fear \n\nThe biggest problem most people face in learning a new language is their own fear. They worry that they won’t say things correctly or that they will look stupid so they don’t talk at all. Don’t do this. The fastest way to learn anything is to do it – again and again until you get it right. Like anything, learning English requires practice. Don’t let a little fear stop you from getting what you want. \n\nUse all of your Resources \n\nEven if you study English at a language school it doesn’t mean you can’t learn outside of class. Using as many different sources, methods and tools as possible, will allow you to learn faster. There are many different ways you can improve your English, so don’t limit yourself to only one or two. The internet is a fantastic resource for virtually anything, but for the language learner it's perfect. \n\nSurround Yourself with English \n\nThe absolute best way to learn English is to surround yourself with it. Take notes in English, put English books around your room, listen to English language radio broadcasts, watch English news, movies and television. Speak English with your friends whenever you can. The more English material that you have around you, the faster you will learn and the more likely it is that you will begin “thinking in English.” . \n\nListen to Native Speakers as Much as Possible \n\nThere are some good English teachers that have had to learn English as a second language before they could teach it. However, there are several reasons why many of the best schools prefer to hire native English speakers. One of the reasons is that native speakers have a natural flow to their speech that students of English should try to imitate. The closer ESL / EFL students can get to this rhythm or flow, the more convincing and comfortable they will become. \n\nWatch English Films and Television \n\nThis is not only a fun way to learn but it is also very effective. By watching English films (especially those with English subtitles) you can expand your vocabulary and hear the flow of speech from the actors. If you listen to the news you can also hear different accents. \n\nListen to English Music \n\nMusic can be a very effective method of learning English. In fact, it is often used as a way of improving comprehension. The best way to learn though, is to get the lyrics (words) to the songs you are listening to and try to read them as the artist sings. There are several good internet sites where one can find the words for most songs. This way you can practice your listening and reading at the same time. And if you like to sing, fine. \n\nStudy As Often As Possible!\n\nOnly by studying things like grammar and vocabulary and doing exercises, can you really improve your knowledge of any language. \n\nDo Exercises and Take Tests\n\nMany people think that exercises and tests aren't much fun. However, by completing exercises and taking tests you can really improve your English. One of the best reasons for doing lots of exercises and tests is that they give you a benchmark to compare your future results with. Often, it is by comparing your score on a test you took yesterday with one you took a month or six months ago that you realize just how much you have learned. If you never test yourself, you will never know how much you are progressing. Start now by doing some of the many exercises and tests on this site, and return in a few days to see what you've learned. Keep doing this and you really will make some progress with English. \n\nRecord Yourself \n\nNobody likes to hear their own voice on tape but like tests, it is good to compare your tapes from time to time. You may be so impressed with the progress you are making that you may not mind the sound of your voice as much. \n\nListen to English \n\nBy this, we mean, speak on the phone or listen to radio broadcasts, audiobooks or CDs i

Look online for a program that has you read it, hear it spoken (like a CD rom or regular CD for your car) and also, if possible, one that can hear you say the words and correct your pronunciation. I've found the best way to learn a language is to have one that you can just listen to in the car that says it in English and then in the foreign language and you can repeat along. Makes car trips go so much faster and you can repeat the "lessons" as many times as you need to. You could always enroll in a community college course, but I haven't heard of Greek being offered really, so I'd look for a CD program.

The best way, in my experience, is go to one of those total immersion programs (many universities over this type of program during the summer), or better yet, spend a couple of years in a country where the language is primarily spoken. \n\nThere are lots of ways to do this, to name just a few: Peace Corps, colleges and university programs, missionary organizations.\n\nNothing else will ever get you to the point where you are really comfortable with the language, unless you live with a native speaker of the language. Even then it's tough!
