Contrary to a popular belief, it is possible to learn a new language on your own. Here is a method that can also be applied to any other language.
As you'll see, this isn't rocket science. It's mostly a matter of common sense and doesn't require a lot of work.

To start with, it's important to work on the state of mind required to learn a new language. Indeed, when it comes to learning a language, the popular belief is that it's a lot of work. Actually, it's not necessary to work much. Just a few minutes a day can be enough.

Try to diversify the exercises to make your learning less monotonous and develop the different skills.

Language learners are often attracted to a country. Read the newspapers of this country, watch news programs and learn the culture.

If you have hobbies or interests, surf the net in the language concerned; you will learn much faster without even realizing it.

Start reading books in English as soon as you can. It's a very powerful way forward.
