I'm fluent enough in it to understand it and have a barely passable conversation. Much like my Spanish, French, and Latin.

Rosetta stone, podcasts, watching foreign language videos, and setting captions in foreign languages.

I actually had to learn it conversationaly for work, and just went with it.

Much like my Spanish

That literally got me out of a jail sentence in Mexico. I was illegally in their country for not filing immigration paperwork, bribed the guy to get fake documents to leave

Good to know a bit.

My wife, blond haired, green eyed Icelandic girl is fluent in Spanish. We had some roofers do some work over a couple of days and they all spoke in Spanish. Bitching, arguing, talking to each other about private shit. When they were done my wife took them a pack of beer and in flawless Spanish told them they did a good job, but they needed to pick up the nails in the yard. They were rather embarrassed.
