How to become fluent in more than one language
It made me
International
 "Make sure you have no choice but to learn it."
How I did it: The first thing to do is to be born in a country with a ridiculous-sounding language that barely anyone speaks. This will motivate you to try to get out of that country, and to do that, you must learn a more useful language. I learned english, since my rather meaningless country shows a lot of television in english, and when I was 7, I realised my mission in life: To become British. First thing to do - learn the language! Lessons & tips: Buy a lot of kids books in the language you are trying to learn. I read "The Cat in the Hat" when I was 13, and, the brilliance and touching story of the book aside, it taught me the basics of grammar, language and culture. (Not to like green eggs and ham) Resources: Books in varying difficulty levels, movies in that language. Make an internet-friend who speaks this language, who can also teach you some naughty words not to say in public.

How I did it: My girlfriend is German but speaks English with me most of the time. We moved to Berlin for a year and everything came into focus. I started an intensive language course which lasted three months. This gave me a really solid foundation. I kept putting myself in situations where I was exposed to the language. To begin with it was tough and I was really tired but after 6 months or so it became much easier to follo… Read how I did it…

How I did it: I became interested in Japanese when I was young, and only decided to pursue my interest when I became older. When I was thirteen I began reading up on how to learn the language, and watching movies without subtitles to pick up the gist of what I could. When I went to live in Japan, I was able to complete my knowledge of the language. Read how I did it…

Decisions, decisions.

I’ve started learning Japanese.
I’m not really sure why – it was a bit of a spur-of-the-moment decision. Japanese wasn’t even on the shortlist of languages I wanted to tackle. But here I am.
Now, I don’t expect to become fluent anytime soon. I’m starting from zero, and I’ve got a long way to go. But it’s something – I always said I wasn’t doing anything about this goal because I didn’t know where to start. I’ve started.

Been studying Spanish for years, but not there yet. I know I must alot more time to this, and achieve it. Therefore, my goal of fluency in another language becomes more easily attainable.
