How to study a foreign language.

While working.  First, make sure your kids are grown up and out of the house.  The next thing to do is to have a class with an ambitious program.  Mine is a three semester sequence to learn Biblical Hebrew that will cost a bundle of money.  This guarantees that my wife will keep me motivated to stay with the program and get my money worth out of it.

The next is to study every moment possible.  Waking up the first thing to do is work on some pronunciation before heading off to work.  Lunch means more study.  As soon as I am home, it is study and homework again except for dinner time and a walk with my wife.  A bit more study and it is time for bed.  The weekends are the time to catch up on the schedule.

Skipping church to learn Biblical Hebrew or cutting out church activities would be defeating the purpose, thus, the need to squeeze all these activities in with the study time.  There is also the possibility of listening to language recordings while commuting, which I might do this morning.  What I have already been doing is to pull out a verb conjugation chart and look at this while waiting at red lights.  No law against this - yet!
