I want to learn a foreign language but will online learning make me fluent and cover the complexity of the language?

I don’t like the idea of learning a language only from an online lesson or a single book. I think if you want to cover up the entire complexity of the language, then you need to do so from several and through various methods. This will also add up some diversity to your language learning process and take the boredom and frustration away.

Aside from free language lessons online, you can try playing educational games. These games are always fun, despite your age. Another way to improve vocabulary and memorize words is through the use of flashcards. Translated texts can also prove to be very useful, because you can see how grammar rules differ from your native language to the ones you’re learning at the moment. If possible, try visiting the country where the language you’re trying to learn is the native language. Even a week stay there will do wonders to your foreign language skills.

Most importantly, try to keep practicing if you want to be able to use it in the future. Or else, it will simply fade away.
