learn to speak another language
Immersion is the key to success....

I lived/worked in Russia for four and a half years, and learning to speak Russian made it a much more enjoyable experience. I think it would be incredibly hard to do if you don’t have it around you all the time, but it’s certainly not a requirement. By the time I left I could speak well enough that people didn’t immediately know that I was an American. I can’t say that I’m fluent, unfortunately, and after 3 years removed from speaking it daily I’ve gotten pretty rusty. Learning any foreign language is a constant effort, so you’re always progressing when it isn’t your native tongue. But when you start thinking in another language, that’s when you know you’re getting somewhere.
