Ask HN: How did you really learn a foreign language?

I took French for 3 semesters in high school. Yet I can barely say "hi" in it. Back then I took it just to fulfill the requirements.

I've decided to take Spanish101 next semester. Unlike when I was taking French, I genuinely want to learn Spanish and be able to communicate in it. I'd love to hear how you went about getting somewhat fluent in a foreign language.
