Here are some basic pointers which can apply to learning a language:
1) Practice everyday! Even if think you have no time, you do! Just read through some notes, or talk to yourself! Start a monologue for 5 minutes whilst driving to work.
2) Don't lose your enthusiasm. Always keep your goal in the forefront of your mind. Why am I learning this language? What is it going to do for me? Imagine yourself speaking it in vivid detail! If you are struggling, change tact - listen to some music in your target language.
3) Don't learn just vocabulary on its own. Always try and put the words into sentences.
4) When you are tired, use entertainment to carry on your progress. You can always practice your language skills by watching a simple TV show in your target language.
5) Do not be afraid of making mistakes. Keep speaking and have people correct you if necessary. It is important that you hear yourself speak as that builds' confidence.
6) Keep building on what you know. Your language will take shape and fall into place.
7) Learning a language is like building a castle, you need to attack it from all sides with conversations, reading children's books to start with, movies, news, TV and radio.
8) Finally, enjoy the journey!!!
