how to learn another language? Considering than i know a majority verbs, pronouns... take a book and a dicionary in this language and try read is a good method?

It's easy! Follow those 3 steps and you too can become Mr International! 1. Learn the grammar - tenses, cases, word order all that stuff. You need to understand how the language works. 2. Get a phrase book, learn it. 3. Watch TV shows/movies/social media content in that language and listen to music in that language. If you don't understand some word/meaning - look it up. That's it. Learning to read/write is more of a hassle but realistically, do you actually need it that much? Good luck and remember, the more languages you speak, the more human you are!

>>57297 The first secondary language I learned was German/Deutsch in high school. I understand their version of phonetics and sentence structure but often struggle at remembering which word means something specific and changes to the ending of adjectives. I am currently self-studying Russian and have been learning their phonetics by looking at signs of familiar franchise shops like McDonald's and examining the characters used. I also learned how to spell their version of the n-word with hard r which in their case is the H-word with hard P.

>>57328 I would suggest a different approach: 1) Learn the written character system of the language. 2) Listen / read for several hours whatever material you enjoy, while taking note of small phrases with words you want to learn in context. 3) Learn the phrases above through space repetition. So basically, ignore grammar and build your own phrase book, but in essence as long as you are exposed to interesting material that grabs your attention you will learn.

>>57332 When I say several hours, I don't mean hours per day, just that you need several hours to learn, the more hours you put in the less days it will take, but you can adjust to your schedule and enjoyment of the process.

>>57297 Actually, Using a language what you want to learn in real life will be the best and most efficient way to get it. But before starting, you need to learn basic grammar and words for basic communication like 57328 said.

>>57297 If the language in question uses a different writing system than the one you are used to, you should start learning it first. For example: in the case of Russian, you should learn to write and read the alphabet first before you do anything else. In the case of Japanese, you should start by learning hiragana and katakana first (you also must start learning Kanji pretty soon). Also, learn how to pronounce each of the letters (phonetics) and learn the names of each letter. After being able to write and read the alphabet (or kana, etc.), you should start reading and writing as much as you can. Start by copying words from a text/vocabulary section and trying to translate them from the language you are interested in learning to your native language (and also do it the other way around!) Create Anki flashcards. Read a lot of text. Learn grammar gradually. It's also a good idea to get a good textbook that is written in your native language. Finally, the most important part is to learn to think in the language you are trying to learn.
