Looking to learn a new language and do not know where to start. It's easy to start and going about it a fun and practical way will help insure you will not get burnt out. Follow these steps to put you on the process of learning a new language.
Read comics, magazine and newspapers in the language you want to learn. One of my favorite ways to learn was to invest in some children’s books with not too many words and lots of pictures written in the desired language. Just as a child learns English (or their first language), so you will pick up French. Don't worry that you do not understand them just yet, you will.
Step2
Listen to music in your desired language. Even better buy a CD with a lyric sheet, so you can follow the song. It may not seem like you are learning, but you will be taking it in.
Step3
Movies are fantastic. You can even watch your favorite English movies with Foreign subtitles/dubbing. Many cartoon DVD's come in multiple Languages. Who knows your kids could pick up the language.
Tips & Warnings
You will soon find that if you do these things you will begin to pick up on the language.
Learning a language can help you improve your interpersonal skills and resume.
