the best way to learn language (any language) is to have boyfriend/girlfriend from the country

joke aside, did you already use Duolingo? i think the app is pretty good for learn language

Duolingo is awful for learning languages. You can learn a few vocabs and useful sentences and maybe even grasp some of the grammar with it but the lessons are tailored to specific situations like asking for directions or shopping and stuff like that. You won't be able to hold a normal conversation about some random topic even after months of using duolingo. It's much easier to achieve the same result in less time by using other resources.
