Be creative in the ways you learn. If you use different techniques you will keep it up for longer. Try recording the material you want to learn on cassette and listen to it in the car or in bed. Write out specific rules and stick them around your office or home. That should encourage your colleagues or family to test you and so make the whole process more fun. When you reach this point, you won't want to stop. Language learning is, after all, about communicating. Viel Spaß! Have fun! -- Jenny Russ
