Starting the at B2 level (intermediate) you will easily manage reading the original. If you aren’t up to reading the original yet, buy a special edition with a summary of the vocabulary, such as book from Penguin Readers.
You don’t have to only read books. Try downloading the BBC News application and read news from around the world.

Did you know that we get up to 75% of our information from non-verbal communication? Therefore, we recommend that students find a show that they are interested in and start watching it in a foreign language. If the language is still difficult for you, turn the subtitles to the show on or watch a show that you already know and don’t mind watching again.

Speak, speak, speak. A language is like a muscle - when you don’t use it, it will be weak. You don’t use languages at work? Find a colleague, who also wants to practice languages and speak together in a pub. If you want to talk to a native speaker, try a conversation lesson that can take place at your home via Skype. You can also have a pen pal on the other side of the world – www.interpals.net.

Rest is necessary. However, resting while doing something for yourself is twice as good. Arrange a long, summer weekend with your partner or family in London or spend a long pre-Christmas weekend in Vienna and try speaking the local language. Don’t be shy. The locals will surely forgive your linguistic inaccuracies and appreciate your attempt to speak their language.
