This doesn't exactly pertain to my formal education, but this really is the heart of self-education: teaching yourself a new language.
I taught myself Ancient Greek over the summer. It took me a few tries over the years to get this to a point where I could read unadapted Ancient Greek, but I finally did it. Here is a series of videos to explain what I did, but it all boils down to this: throw stuff against the wall until it sticks.
1. The introduction
2. A short bit of history
3. Beginners' materials
3 1/2. Not-so-beginners' materials
4. A sample of Herodotus
