How Do You Learn a Foreign Language?

I'm learning English. Though I've learned it for over ten years. But I still need to improve myself. What's your opinion on learning a foreign language? Study by yourself, or attend some class, or even go to the country which you're learning? I think the last one would be best, but in the same time, there would be a lot of limitation, time, money, etc. How about you?

I think taking a class is a good idea. Also there is some good computer programs out there for learning different languages. I have one on my computer for learning spanish. The only downfall to that is you only learn how to speak it, but not spell it. In that case, a classroom setting would be better.

If you want to learn a language it is really good if you'll visit the country by yourself,like what you've said, in that way you'll be able to interact with them and will appreciate more their language, the way they pronounce the words in their native tongue is also a big help, though as what you've said resources might be limited but if you really want to learn well you'll have a price to pay.

Yeah, that's the point. I hope to do that, but it would need a lot of money~~~~~~~~~
