... Actually, I love Disneyworld. the point is, I love languages more.
I am actually, as a linguist, fluent in only one language--English. I'm conversational in Spanish and somewhat so in ASL and Swahili, and I can slowly form and parse sentences in Hawaiian and Japanese. But the bane of the linguist is that we often get too distracted to immerse in any one language.
It really depends on how you learn. Language software, books, and games can all help, but nothing really beats conversing. If you can take some sort of immersion class, or if you know a native speaker of the language you want to learn, take every chance you can get to practice it.
