If you have the time to do it, the total immersion is probably the best way to do it (6 months and you are good to go). I travel to Bulgaria every year and I'm amazed at how well I'm able to communicate by just listening and trying. I started with a pocket size phrase book that phonetically spells it out. I would also draw diagrams of body parts, table settings, you name it. Each night, study the alphabet and the sounds of each. Once I get back here, its tough to continue the learning part of it. Also, we are teaching my son Bulgarian, he'll be 4 in August and he already knows more than me.
