Live there. Most people I've talked to suggest that a year is enough to become fairly fluent. Also, you'll need to socialise when you're there - going to another country and hanging out with ex-pats is a sure way to not learn anything. Alth

well an evil strategy I wouldn't rule out is to make sure that you have loads of links in your system - you now own these links- then after a while insert an advertised page into the flow after a user clicks on one of the links. wouldn't be
