I have learnt 9 languages by myself. Let me share my best know-how with you.
My name is Lýdia Hric Machová and I'm an interpreter and language mentor. I have learned 9 languages by myself, without living abroad.
I've helped thousands of people to learn languages by themselves, in ways different from traditional methods, and with much better and faster results.
I'm also a TED and TEDx speaker and the main organizer of the Polyglot Gathering, one of the biggest world events for polyglots.

The four pillars of successful language learning
Fun
When you find a way to enjoy the process of learning a language, it turns into a pleasant pastime activity. If you don’t like learning a language, you just haven’t found your methods yet.
Methods
There are millions of ways to learn a language but not all of them will get you to a truly comfortable fluent level. If you are wondering which methods work best, look at how polyglots learn languages.
Contact
If you want to speak another language, you need to be in contact with it every day, even if only for a few minutes. Luckily, there are many effective methods for busy people too.
System
Whether you learn from a book or language apps, you need a system in your learning. Otherwise you won’t spend enough time with it. The best way is to make a plan and then just follow it step by step.
