What's the most effective way to learn a language other than paying for classes? Are books sufficient? I'm sure I can eventually find speaking partners online but when I'm by myself... just how?

Download duolingo it's an app for Apple android might have it too. I used it before my trip to Mexico and got treated like a king because locals appreciate it when you take time to learn their language.

i've heard good stuff about duolingo but haven't tried it out myself
The app HelloTalk is a good way to get language partners for whatever you're looking to learn. Native speakers of whatever you're trying to learn can send texts and voice messages, correct your errors, etc. I've found it really helpful for picking up casual, daily speech and getting comfortable with actually using the things I learn.
I'm all for polylingualism and self improvement, but if you have no one with whom to speak, why do you need to learn a language?
