It’s the best thing you could ever do for yourself. Make it attainable, focus on what you care about. Is speaking or writing your goal? If it’s speaking, move. If it’s writing and speaking perfectly, spend a ton of time in a classroom or with a tutor.

i’ve done both. the key is to diversify, across industry sectors. as the world economy fluctuates, you have some winners and you have some losers. cut your losses quickly, cultivate your winners, and stay on top of every investment with research. not just the canned reseach, use the blogosphere, if it’s a company with products and services you can use, then use them and calibrate your investments with real world experience.
The only way to start is to start. The question is how to do it without hurting the pocketbook. That’s where trading games come into play. There are lots of varieties out there (do a Yahoo! search), but the key element is to first get familiar with it. I trade on itsdEx the social trading site, and have tried probably every game in the market. A must read for a new trader is Jim Cramer’s Real Money. He cuts right through to the core elements of how the mysterious world of trading intersects with someone motivated to learn.
