Aloha,

Does anybody have some tips on how to learn languages really, really fast?

I know that I should focus on learning the most common words first, so I have found some frequency lists with the most common words for different languages.

I also know that I should try to speak the new language all the time - preferably by living in a region where the language is being spoken by the natives.

Great tips as far as I can see it, but there are probably tons of other tips that I don't know about.

Care to share your favorite tips for effective language learning?

Thank you, phi
