How I did it: While I studied French in primary and secondary school, I needed to become bilingual for my job. I went on full-time training - 40 hours a week for six months. A few tricks: speak french all the time in training (even if you know you are making mistakes!); watch french tv and read french articles; sometimes you just have to memorize the verbs!
This will be a lifelong process, but it was nice to have this first stage behind me. 

Lessons & tips: Verb books are your friend!  I also found that flash cards helped with memorizing verbs.
