The Linguist 鈥� Steve Kaufman:

• Learn languages from what you're interested in.

A language learner has to be motivated. They have a vast library of real life articles, stories, interviews, radio shows, novels etc... from which you can choose whatever interests you. If you are interested in what you're reading, you will be motivated to understand it. If you are motivated to understand it, you will!

• Dramatically increase your vocabulary.

To learn any language you must expose yourself to that language. Read and listen to as much content as you can. But you first have to understand it. This means dramatically increasing your vocabulary.
