One of the biggest pieces of advice I could pass on to a fellow language learner is to be a kid again. Ask questions "what is that" in your learned tongue and feel alright with saying "I don't understand".
When we first start learning a different language, we practically are children. We have broken vocabulary and only understand every other word of the basics.
One way I have found to make being a kid fun is to play cartoons or even your childhood memories in a different language. Norway for instance ran a version of Sesame Street called Sesam Stasjon which can be found on YouTube.

Additionally, I would recommend searching in your foreign language's Google for kid's games or even kid's websites. This content is easy to find and there are relevant sites. One of the sites I have found interesting for learning geography in Norwegian has been http://www.gruble.net/geografi/. The site also offers other activities which could aid in my language learning. At first, It may be embarrassing to practice on these sites, but the content is generally completely relevant to beginning students as well as being completely free!
Have fun being a kid again while you learn a new language. Who knows you may even enjoy it more than you think!
