I have always said that to learn another language is so booring, however to know another language is really fun! My old German teacher was pretty boring and I did not learn much in class unfortunately.
Your smartphone can be a much better teacher than my old language teacher from high school.
Since I live and work in Dubai and have a wife that speaks Japanese, Spanish and Portugise fluently I have experimented with different ways of learning new languages. The best method I have found so far is the Mitchel Thomas method. He is focusing on learning by playing with the words just like you would do as a kid instead of teaching you complicated grammar.
Pick the language you want to learn and download it to your phone and start practicing!
