1) Spend time!
The first and the most important factor is how much time you are immersed in the language. The more time you spend with the language, the faster you will learn. This includs listening, reading, writing, speaking, and studying words and phrases. This does not mean just sitting in class and looking out from the window, nor listening to other students who do not speak well, nor getting explanations in your own language about how the language works. You must spending time enjoyably connected to the language you are learning!
2) It means every day!
Listen wherever you are on your MP3 player or with your computer. Read what you are listening to. Listen to and read things that you like, things that you can mostly understand, or even partly understand. If you keep on listening and reading , you will get used to the language. Although one hour of listening or reading is more effective than many hours of class time, speak it out and repeat after it are also important for your progress.
3) Keep an eye on words and phrases!
Don’t forget to build up your vocabulary, you’ll need lots of them. Start to notice words and how they come together as phrases. Learn these words and phrases through your learning program. Read online, using online dictionaries, and make your own vocabulary lists for review, then you will run into your new words and phrases elsewhere. As a result , you will be able to use them. Do not worry about how many mistakes you will make until you have accumulated a plenty of 
 words through listening and reading.

4) You are responsible for your own learning!
If you do not want to learn the language, nobody will force you to do so. If you really want to learn the language, take control. Choose content of interest, that you want to listen to and read it out loud. Try to find the words and phrases that you need to understand in your listening and reading. Don’t wait for others to show you the language, nor to tell you what to do. Try to find out the language by yourself, like a child who needs to grow up. Talk when you feel like it or sometimes , if you don’t like it. Try to write something with your new language to someone . A teacher can only teach you the language, but you can become fluent only if you want to.
5) Always be relax and enjoy yourself!
Don’t worry about what you can’t remember, or what you can’t yet understand, or can’t yet say. It does not matter. Just remember you are only a newbie and you are still learning and improving. Eventually the new language will become clearer in your brain, but this will happen on a schedule that you cannot control. That’s the reason why you need to sit back and enjoy all the times. Finally, be sure you spend enough time with the language. That is the greatest recommendation and guarantee of your success.
