The great comedian Sid Caesar does not endorse the following method of improving at foreign languages.
I teach English in Japan, lately with I like to think increasing success, and I speak & write Japanese. My trick for learning foreign languages is....
The Sid Caesar method: If you learn to impersonate languages, no matter how badly, you will also learn how to speak them. Please give this time, and try the experiment.
Gradually it seemed to me that the biggest difficulty with learning a foreign language is not making meaning but the fear of the lack of it.
What do I mean?! The story goes like this.
When I learnt to speak Japanese after studying it for about 4 years I also found myself able to speak and read French. I had never been good at French at school, but something in my head, my psychological attitude to language had changed. I am not saying I am good at French but suddenly I had no problem with blabbing in my bad French. For a long time I did not work out what had changed.
Then two things happened:
1) I came across some research by Steven Heine, extending "terror management theory" arguing that there is not thing more scary than the absence of meaning. You can download his paper here Page on Psych
2) I came across some comedians that "impersonate languages" such as the late great Sid Caesar, and I thought "That's it. That is what changed."
Here is Sid Caesar impersonating French and other languages.
When I was young I had a black friend who (though he is as English as I am) when treated with prejudice in a public place used to reply in his impersonation of an African language. At the time even the thought of impersonating a language filled me with dread. But now I hardly break into a sweat. I am not as good as Sid Caesar in the above video but speaking in gobbledygook no longer hurts. I will append my video at the end.
Many people (especially in Japan) think that foreign languages are very difficult, and that you need to know a lot of grammar and vocabulary. At the same time, many native speakers (especially children) use a small vocabulary and the grammar they use could be written on a postcard. In other words the intellectual, structural, and factual information required of being able to speak like a child in a foreign language is the sort of thing you can learn in a couple of days.
This fact has been known in the language teaching community for some time, and leads to an emphasis upon "acquisition" of language through practice, rather than learning of language (e.g. rote memorisation of grammar and vocab).
But even using Krashen or other acquisition / communication centred techniques, progress is slow. What is the reason for this? One reason is that practice is required, just as it is required in another other skill, such as tennis. You don't become a good tennis player just by learning tennis theory.
But there is another aspect that is peculiar to language. To an extent we live in language, we narrative our selves in it, and when the language lacks meaning it results in a loss of self that is almost as scary as death (see Heine's research above). When we go to speak a foreign language, and let roll with a sentence that may well be all wrong, and may meet with a complete lack of comprehension, we enter that world of unmeaning and experience something akin to death. And this is terrifying.
However, of course, we do not die and we gradually learn not to be scared.
There is quicker route. If you practice impersonating languages, such as by watching a YouTube video of an Italian interview and then practice speaking in fake Italian mimicry (like Sid Caesar above) then you can, gradually, overcome this fear of flying into unmeaning. I am not saying that you will suddenly become a polyglot, but it will make foreign languages easier.
At the least you will become aware of one of the biggest, I would say the biggest, obstacles to foreign language proficiency.
The experiment.
1) Time yourself for a minute. Try and say as much as you can in the foreign language of you are trying to learn.
2) Then watch a video on YouTube of a language that you know nothing about and try impersonating that language for one minute. Do not worry about the quality of your impersonation, just try and make various word like sounds. (You can find some Chinese by searching for "發明" or some Italian, I think, by searching for "intervista")
In which case did you make more sound? I am guessing that you made more sounds in case (1) even though you had to use correct grammar, correct vocabulary. In case (2) you could have made any old noise.
In other words, it is not the words, the meaning, the grammar that is difficult, but the un-meaning that is the biggest, terrifying obstacle to foreign language acquisition.
If you can already "do a Sid Caesar" then I predict you will be quick at learning foreign languages or already can speak one.
Here is me impersonating Chinese. It is not good and makes me cringe a bit still but in times past the mere thought was quite beyond the pale (i.e. s*** scary). Here is a link to my video of me Impersonating Three Languages.

Addendum (Big Mistake)
"My head" is inside my narrative and field of view, not the other way around! This is a very important point and the danger of the scientific worldview. The scientific world is a product of our narration as even some scientists a vow (Wheeler, Mach). Our head is also something we see in our field of view in mirrors, or our nose and brow directly. Our perceptions (including of our whispers) are not inside "me" or my body. To think so would be double death.

LEARN META MEDICINE SKILLS in WELLINGTON New Zealand
uncover the real path to complete health
barbara c belger
introduced meta medicine to new zealand by organising richard flook’s first certification training in 2009. barbara herself has been unravelling the truth behind all illnesses and the impact of trauma for many years and had come across the ‘art’ of meta medicine in 2005.
“meta medicine is the frame to hold all the puzzle pieces that are represented by the various traditional, alternative and complimentary healing methods. it is the precise road map to truly understand your body - and yes, you may have to move away from descartes’ or darwin’s ‘separation between mind and body’.” -barbara says
currently traveling new zealand, writing her first book and being inspired by the beauty of new zealand and her people, barbara has designed a 2 day workshop that gives you more information and inspiration than you could possibly expect to find out in 2 days, for you to integrate this wisdom into your private and professional life
in two days you will
learn the principles of meta medicine
gain insights into your and your clients’ health records
receive breakthrough information on why really we become sick
become clear on how to help yourself, your loved ones or your clients
re-gain full trust in your body’s innate healing abilities
to know whether this workshop is for you or not allow me to if right now you or someone you care for has a health issue
people who have attended any meta medicine workshops or trainings have been
blown away
experienced a paradigm shift
gained full confirmation on what they always suspected to be the real cause of dis-ease
acquired complete peace of mind with regard to their own health and the health and wellbeing of others
loved spending their time with like-minded people, who are passionate to create a change in this world
two important days of your life that will change your attitude to dis-ease forever!
examples of complete meta medicine therapy work
60 year old male, recurring ‘tennis elbow’ over several years - resolving an issue with his son, letting go of hurtful emotion: all symptoms disappeared
58 year old female, over 25 years of back pain - resolving conflict with ex partner, overcoming loss of baby, allowing to feel supported and trust: all symptoms disappeared, lost heaps of weight and ‘all anger about past is gone’
45 year old female, knee injury through sport at mid 20 requiring constant treatment, pain becoming severe and yet, being able to be physically active: resolving conflict shock (flexibility, self-worth and moving forward) plus SCENAR treatment: symptom free
40 year old female, 13 years constant pain (fibromyalgia): uncovering the original traumatic event (that has ‘never been told to anyone’), re-learn the experience and letting go of the stressful emotion: pain free - and no more migraine either
in her presentations and workshops barbara puts everything into practise that she has learned for over a decade.
in the recent canterbury earthquakes barbara set up a ‘trauma corner’ in one of the emergency centres and with the support of colleagues effectively de-traumatised a huge number of severely stressed cantabrians. “nlp recover” received government contracts in june 2011 and is still operational in canterbury to help people recover from earthquake trauma.
on our blogsite you will find out about a meta medicine workshop near you - do make sure you pass this information on to friends and colleagues across the country. feel free to contact me, barbara, to arrange a free talk and a workshop in your town should you not see it in the workshop schedule.
the workshop fees for this year, including manual and certificate of attendance will be kept at $390.- , this is subject to increase in 2013.
email barbarabelger@gmail.com to receive your enrollment form - booking and full payment is necessary to guarantee your place.
the workshops will be supportive of your own goals and health questions.
‘what an opportunity for new zealand’s health practitioners’ - not to be missed.
is any previous training required? no, this workshop is open for everyone. all you need is a passion for health and a burning desire to be a part of an ever growing number of meta medicine trained people world wide.
see you there
warm regards, love & joy

(Foreground) a woman with a sleeping baby learns about infant nutrition, in a baby-friendly space in the Kobe refugee camp in the Dollo Ado area of Ethiopias Somali Region. The UNICEF-supported space is run by the international NGO Save the Children US. Some 27,000 Somali refugees are currently sheltering in the camp.
In June 2012 in Ethiopia, refugees from conflict and drought in Somalia continue to arrive at camps in the south-eastern Dollo Ado area of Somali Region. While Ethiopians also continue to suffer the effects of the worst drought to hit the Horn of Africa in 60 years which hit hardest in July and August, 2011 Somalia remains the worst affected. By early July of this year, the number of Somali refugees in the five major camps and a transit centre settlement in Dollo Ado had grown to 160,000; more than two thirds are children; one quarter are under five years of age. Child mortality and malnutrition rates have improved significantly in the camps since the height of the crisis, but are expected to worsen due to decreased crop and livestock production: the result of below-average rains from February through May. UNICEF has joined with the Ethiopian Administration for Refugees and Returnee Affairs (ARRA) and the United Nations High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR) as well as with other UN, NGO and community partners to help provide essential services in the areas of health, nutrition, education, water and sanitation and child protection. This includes support for feeding programmes, immunizations, safe water and hygiene practices, early childhood development, school supplies, family tracing, and support for unaccompanied children. UNICEF funding for programmes for Somali refugees in Ethiopia is part of its emergency programme support in Ethiopia. UNICEF has requested US $58.3 million for these programmes through 2012, of which almost half has been received.

Tinkering Studio founders Karen Wilkinson and Mike Petrich gave us a great tour of their hands-on workshop and learning center at the Exploratorium, in a field trip organized by the ReMake Education Summit team.
The Tinkering Studio is an immersive, active, creative place at the Exploratorium where museum visitors can slow down, become deeply engaged in an investigation of scientific phenomena, and make something—a piece of a collaborative chain reaction—that fully represents their ideas and aesthetic.
Karen and Mike showed some really creative ways to teach art, science and making -- and it inspired me to try some of their practices into our own maker art work and the classes we teach at Tam Makers.
