Learning a language We were discussing about learning English last night in a bar. A bartender asked me if he suddenly wanted to move to foreign countries like US or UK one day and he didn't know any English, that didn't make him feel comfortable to think about that. So what would be the best way and fast way to learn a new language? Someone started to joke about perhaps having a foreign girlfriend/boyfriend is quite practical who can speak that language if you can handle the rest. I think persistancy is very important. Learn it, read it, listen to it, write about it, speak about it, comprehend it, think with it. The rest of it will come with time and continoriuous efforts.
