What if you're married to an English speaker already, and you can't leave the country (tons of kids and a job)?

Immersion is obviously ideal, but not always practical. Then, you're left with finding friends who speak the language, college courses, movies, etc.

Any other ideas?

Persuade your partner to learn too? My then girlfriend (now wife) and I learnt sign language together, which was fun and useful for 'talking' in the library.
