Learning a language

I have come to the realization that the only effective way of learning a language is to settle with the native speakers even with all the technological advancements.  Even with technology you are not an island not to communicate with anyone after all the efforts you put into the studies whether audio, video or in writing.

Imagine you want to speak German, you are at home in the comfort of your library, having a video tutorial with a teacher online; after the one or two hour session, you are back to square one speaking the Language you are used to.

Again imagine you are with a couple of Germans maybe in a German community or in the country itself, what you would then do if you want your needs met? The only viable option I see is learning the language for if not there is no survival for at all.

Although you may have a penchant to learn a particular language, the most viable and effective way is trying to use your vacation or leave period or any free time you have on your schedule to travel and have the experience which in the end is worthwhile. It may not to the native speakers but at least a nearby country that speak the same language. Hmmmmm the fluency, accentuation, plus the precision with which it would come with is really worth it.
