I don`t believe there is a "fast and easy" way to learn it otherwise. It`s all about environment and determination.

Lol, is that what you call easy? Life must have been tough for you! But, truly, that is one of the best ways to learn any language.

I always cringe when I hear "fast and easy" when talking about learning a language. I mean, there's not only a ton of memorization, you have new concepts and ideas. Also, there are cultural fact you must learn. For anyone wanting to learn another language, this is, like MMM said, a conscious change in life style. You are going to have to sacrifice a lot of time to this effort.
