Got to have a look at Michael Thomas language CD's - he presents languages into component parts to let you reconstruct and form your own sentences - also wipes away a load of bullshit that takes time to learn.
Mr Thomas died recently but spent over 50 years on this and covered many languages... Here's some links to his background and materials...
