I read that Heinrich Schliemann, while excavating in Greece, learned Greek by comparing a French book with a Greek translation. He said after the first attempt he knew half the words, and after the second attempt he knew all of them, and that he only bothered to learn a little bit of grammar (he said schoolchildren were taught grammar for 8 years to little or no effect)
Apparently as a businessman he made it a point to learn the language of every country he did business with, and knew over 10 of them.
What do you think of Schliemann's method?
