Exactly. It's wrong to "learn" a language. By "learning", we can easily focus on grammar, vocabulary, or phrases. The right way is actually to forget these things and to just use the language. Watch TV, read newspapers, talk to people. Try

to understand and to make yourself understood. Don't be afraid of making mistakes in grammar or vocabulary or pronunciation. Chinese English like "long time no see", or "you ask me - me ask who", are wrong but very effective. My mother-in-law has been "learning" English for years yet she can hardly speak or understand anything. On the other hand, a woman I know never attended a class but she works as a nanny for an English speaking family. She often talks English speaking drivers into giving her rides home.

Don't be shy. Don't be afraid. Just use it any way you can.
