what's the best way to practice a language , share your thoughts

Ohayou! it's has been a long long time since I signed in,
and so I decided wanted to share my new decisions in life.  One thing u you don't know about me is that I love watching and sketching ANIME, and from here because of this I made the a new decision.  I want to learn the Japanese language.  it's I still have a year to finish my studies but until that time I am working to find out a a way for every goal i want to achieve every one of my goals.

My English still needs some improvement, but music and movies have made it better without my noticing it! and That is what happened with the Japanese language because I watch a lot of anime that some words jumped in my mind.  butHowever, I still don't know the basics of this language or the right way to say a word.  That's why it's important to have a teacher; and u  you cant just learn something with only by yourself

So if u you know the basics of a language, I think that one of the best ways to improve your listening is by watching movies where natives talk!
So what do you think is better?

One more thing, if there any mistakes in my entry please correct it them!

Hi Dodody,  I agree that listening to movies and tv and music can help a person improve on listening and speaking.  But be careful, there is a lot of slang and impolite words in tv and movies.  You may end up immitating poor English if you only do that.  It is important to have a good basis for language, and then practice listening that way after you are more sure of what is right and what is accepted in informal speech.

I think two of the best ways to practice and improve, actually three...

1.  Think to yourself in the language you want to learn.  By that I mean, think about all the the daily things you do all day in your target language.  If you are making spaghetti, think about how to do that.  Talk to yourself while running errands, have conversations.  I do this all the time in French.

2. Write a daily journal.  Much the same as above only do it in writing.  Really good practice for all the everyday words you don't realize you need to know.  It will help with forming sentences, and expression, vocabulary, spelling. 

3.  Read!!!  It helps build vocabulary and helps you see how sentences are put together, spelling, expression, and all kinds of things.  It is my favorite way.  You can do it anywhere and enjoy it as you do it.  Most importantly read something you will enjoy.
