If you can learn it in a few years, I'd like to use you as proof to my school system that we don't need to take it for 15 years.
I think immersion is the only way to really learn a language well. I never did all that well in Spanish, especially when it came to speaking, but during my time in Germany I got to a point where I could understand and express pretty much everything in German, and that was only in ten and a half months!

If you want to learn a language live in a country where it is the primary language and avoid speaking any other language and ask LOTS of questions.
