7. Live your language
Let me be clear – the best 'tool' in the world to improving your language skills is time spent with another human being who speaks the language. Even if you have a basic conversation, that's better than hours spent with your head in a book.
Ultimately, languages can't be learned, they can only be lived. Experience your language and your skills in it will improve naturally.
Benny says it is vital to make learning a language varied and fun, and not get bogged down in books
