This has worked for me. Just try to enjoy a self bombardment of the foreign language and hope you will catch on eventually.

15 years in china, with a chinese wife and everyone in my family and my environment speaking chinese with each other did not help me learn more than a few words and phrases of chinese. so just bombardement is not enough, you must be doing some active learning if you want anything to catch on.

I'm in progress learning Vietnamese this way. To me, whether it works or not is no longer a question :)

Were you trying to learn a language or did it just happen to you?
