Are you asking about the first language we learn--or the second language; as in, you want to learn more than one language, what's the best way to go about learning the first?

I'll answer both, because I'm not sure which you mean.

Children learn by example; when you're a toddler and you hear your mother/father call that small fuzzy thing over in the corner a cat, you begin to realize that that is it's name. And, until told differently, all small, fuzzy animals will be "cat." Everything that flies will be "bird." Eventually, though, children learn to distinguish objects and animals from one another.

Because we learn our first language by hearing the word and associating it with the object/animal/etc., that is also the best way to learn a second language. Rosetta Stone's rather expensive--but excellent--software works in this way. Cultural Imersion Programs also work like that--only on a deeper level. The best way to learn a language is by imersing yourself, certainly. But, in some instances, that is not possible. So, rather than studying and memorizing your way to a new language, I would recommend being taught by someone originating from your country of interest--or, if that is not possible, purchasing Rosetta Stone. I intend to buy their software myself because my choice college doesn't offer my choice language; I'm also going to work with a Study Abroad program for a couple of summers--which, if you are enrolled in a college, would be a wonderful option for yourself.

Babies learn their first language through exposure to it in their environment. They soak up language by listening to others talk, mimicking sounds, and receiving feedback on their attempts at speech. This process is facilitated by caregivers who provide a supportive language-rich environment.
