The key to learning a foreign language is to integrate it into every part of your life and practice it all the time.
1.Listen up!Listen to the words spoken to you and listen to your intuition.
2.Watch the original version of movies in your target language
3.Find music in your target language that you like. It doesn’t matter if at first you don’t understand the lyrics. You are not only learning the rhythm of the language, you are learning new vocabulary.
4.TV,You’re in your hotel room trying to recover from jet lag. Turn on the TV and watch the news in your target language after you already know the relevant news from a source in your own language.
Well,hope everyone will be succeed in learning language!!

No need for the sarcasm. Some people may find this useful, as indicated by the fact that two people have voted for it

The OP is likely a spammer so don't get too invested in this thread!

Tell people something they know already and they will thank you for it.
Tell them something new and they will hate you for it.
-- George Monbiot
A lot of "useful" votes are just "yes, I agree".
The sarcasm was a bit unwarranted, true, but at the moment I'm wondering why this advice was given the title "Learn a Foreign Language on the Go" -- the advice isn't about "on the go", so like NewYorkEric I'm expecting to see a post extolling the virtues of some learning materials or other....

Here's an article posted on Reuters News (Guest post) just 3 days ago, so either you're right and these are both thinly veiled plugs for her revolutionary new language-learning book, or the OP has pretty much plagiarized:
Learn a Foreign Language On the Go
It includes:
"Here are some tips from my book...
1. Listen up!
You're doing business in France and you want to learn French. Before you launch into regurgitating the entire phrase book on Week One in Paris, listen to the language. Listen to the French talk....
2. Mobile learning
Learn Chinese while sitting on the train between Shanghai and ....
3. Watch the original version of movies in your target language...
4 .Music Find music in your target language that you like. It doesn't matter if at first you don't understand the ....
5. TV You're in your hotel room trying to recover from jet lag. Turn on the TV ..."
Welcome to the Forum xumeng12!
Edit: OK, the book author has nothing to do with this, see my post below. xumeng12, now I think your post is very cute.

Hi xumeng12. Doing a Google search, I see that you joined the Cheftalk.con forum, Professional Cleaning & Restoration forum, Catholic Answers forum, Indian Television & Bollywood forum, Boating & Fishing forum, and many others this week.
Are you learning how to post on forums? I think it's very nice that you are trying to help people by researching and supplying information on many topics.
I especially like this one from the Vienna Symphony Library forum:

Vienna lies in the east of Austria and is close to the borders of the Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Hungary. These regions work together in a European Centrope border region. Along with nearby Bratislava, Vienna forms a metropolitan region with 3 million inhabitants, and this region is referred to as Twin City. In 2001, the city centre was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site
