I'm teaching myself japanese, and I do agree that just reading books will help a LOT. I was reading Helen Keller in japanese (for kids) a while back and I kept finding myself understanding the grammar more and more, and even though I didn't understand everything, my basic understanding of the grammar, word order and what not, got SO much better. Kind of like how a kid learns their first language.

Kind of like how a kid learns their first language. Definitely. It gets you used to how things are written/spoken. I know this because my sister never reads, and her writing is that of a yound child. gonk

I have a tip that helped me learn Esperanto, and is helping me learn Spanish.
Wikipedia. It can work as a this language-that language translator, AND a giant vocab list. Go to the homepage of the Wikipedia that is your native language, and search whatever word. When you reach that one's page, you can go to the lefthand side of the screen and change the page into the language you are learning. Then you get to know the translation of the word, and you're presented with related words and something to read, since it's an article on the subject.
...Yay.

Eccentric Iconoclast Proudly_Jewish Eccentric Iconoclast Get an email address and set it so it sends you the promotional mail in the language you're learning instead of your native tongue. My hotmail is set to French 3nodding As is my msn wink My yahoo is set to French. xd I can't figure out how to reset my hotmail...

If you're an advanced learner of a language, make a list in MS word of some words you come across in texts/movies/etc - it helps you remember that vocabulary. Only do this if you're very advanced though (ortherwise there will be too many words and typing them up in MS word will be pointless).

Immersing yourself is probably the most help you can get when learning a language.
I love my French teacher for that. I've only taken two semesters of French (semesters are four classes a day, then you change classes in the middle of the school year). I've taken French I and I'm currently taking French II.
My French teacher speaks French all thoughout class. (She speaks English sometimes to explain instructions, but I'd say 90% of the time, she speaks French.) She doesn't let us speak English in class, which helps me with French, because I can understand French better than I could with Spanish when I took it two years ago. 3nodding
I've only been learning French since last January (excluding summer break), and I could probably go to France or Québec and get my way around.

When I was in high school, my english teacher didn't want us to speak french in her class and often took off points on our final marks if it happened eek sweatdrop but my english is quite good today because of her heart (I had the same teacher for 5 years I had english in high school)

I do that to make Irish easier to learn ^^ And it works! Reading works. And also, talking to yourself in the language you're learning. I talk to myself in Spanish and Irish. Mwaha.
