Here is my recommended method, in three complex but well-defined steps:

  1. Learn the grammar of the language using an old-fashioned (pre-1960) textbook.

  2. Access a large corpus of data (text and speech in the language).

  3. Practice using the language with people who know it, and receive feedback.
