2. Embrace speaking like Tarzan

To start using a language from the beginning, you absolutely have to embrace 'sounding like an idiot'. A grammar-focused learning approach may work for passing exams, but if you want to get ahead and actually speak with people, it's okay to say things like 'Me want go supermarket'.
