I don't want to stay monolingual, especially with English as my language. How does one learn a language efficiently without forgetting anything? Please, I must know the secret of learning foreign languages.

There's literally a sticky at the top of /int/ that addresses this question at great length. Fuck off and go read it you stupid burger.

Do not have an IQ lower than 80. Learning languages ( that are not that different from yours) is the easiest thing ever.

I dunno about you, but living in the native country of the language you're trying to learn is pretty efficient. especially if they have a large english speaking population and you like talking to people. you just pick up the language eventually.

Start learning the 2000 most used words, those make up 90% of normal conversation/written text. Use memorise for this, you can usually find a frequency list online. If your target language has genders, start learning them immediately alongside the words themselves.
Then proceed to buy a decent grammar book, which you should follow.
Try watching movies and perhaps find a native or another eager learner to help you (there are websites/subreddits for that), try to stimulate each other to keep each other motivated.
While we are on the topic of Reddit: there's usually a subreddit for your target language which has resources, also take a look at the /int/ sticky.
You can use Duolingo / pirate Rosetta Stone, but don't expect wonders.
If you use the language you don't forget the language. It's that easy. You just gotta use it regularly
Liking the language makes things way easier too !
If you don't use it you lose it !

There is no secret. It's hard work, practice, and repetition.

if your first language is English you cannot be fluent in another language.

1. find a man who speaks the language you want to learn
2. get him to pump your anus
3. make sure he blows his load in your mouth
4. his knowledge DNA should merge with yours
and from there you should have an easier time learning his language
