My situation is totally reverse :) But here is mine :)

I totally HATED English when I was in Japan because memorizing words is totally boring! But when I came here I had to learn it and use it.... So I had to learn quickly and I realized I can speak Engrish :P :P (noted with R :P)

I still have trouble with accent but I can communite with people at least ;)

Anyway I think the best way to learn is to use it not to memorize it :)

If you use Bittorrent then I can recommend downloading programs or video series for teaching the language. I obtained a large video series this way (even though it looks like something made over 10 years ago :P ) And as Kittens said learning by speaking is the best way, IMO. Try to find a program that speaks the words for you and then you can repeat afterwards. Very helpfull.

I hopefully you can find something. :)
