Sesame Street Live Program

How to learn a language similar to the way a child learns?

I was just thinking to myself about the way children learn languages. Me, as a child I learned how to speak from my parents and from watching television shows such as Sesame Street and a few others. Now that I am an adult, would it be possible for me to get a girlfriend who speaks another language and watch children shows in other languages to learn another language in a year? Instead of using one of those programs out such as Rosetta Stone. Anyone know where I can find a story about someone who has done this? Or anyone know how I can learn another language without being born in that country,being able to live there or getting a boring program to teach me?

Yes, you can do it:

Move to the country you want to be in and NEVER speak English with anyone. That’s how children learn language–they are totally immersed in it and have no other means of communication. You will learn because you have to. You can get a girlfriend, but I guarantee that you will spend more time talking English than her language. She’s not going to be content sitting there with you and not being able to talk to you. She WILL speak English. I have a friend who tried that with his Russian girlfriend (he wanted to learn Russian). She NEVER talks Russian to him even though he asks all the time.
