As mentioned already, you need to immerse yourself in it. Took me a few years of living in NL before getting fluent. Even then, it was mostly down to my in-laws helping me practise; every foreigner here bemoans the dutchies' insistence on speaking english to them when they're trying to practise in the shop or pub or fitiver.
I've been learning swedish & norwegian for a couple of years now but it's only reading/writing. Could barely order a pint withoot resorting to english. Maybe the uni or international students organise some event/language cafe open to the public?

Here's a bit of what Michel Thomas was about .

Just a tip for picking up words and phrases if learning a new language. If you've got some of your favourite movies/TV shows on DVD then change the language or subtitles or both on the menu at the beginning.
Ok word for word there is slight variations, but you would be surprised at how much you could pick up. It's not that enjoyable for some folk watching a whole movie in French or Spanish , but whatever language you want to learn it's another method that can help. Even watching it in English with foreign subtitles. Find some good radio stations as well , loads online you can tune into and hearing natives speaking on the radio is great
