I think that there are few important things in learning a language and the most important of them is regularity! Only regular studies can bring better result. Another important thing is a teacher. Teacher can always direct you to the right way and he allows you to avoid mistakes which otherwise can follow after you permanently. Of course, self practice is needed and it is the most part of our work. But with teacher you can work more effectively, I believe. And following to my experience I could say that without speaking and writing you will never be able to use the language as a tool of communication. Especially important is writing. It requires a lot of work with grammar, with vocabulary and takes a lot of attention….
