Fun, interesting things to do as you learn a language

I've been learning Spanish since I started high-school, and as I've gone along I've used a lot of cool ways to help me! Aside from working on writing, speaking, and learning tenses, etc., in a different language, it's also a really good idea to keep in mind that you should do some stuff that's just fun, to help you start internalizing the language. I just started reading Un Mal Principio (The Bad Beginning, by Lemony Snicket!) today, and I've read The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, and Prince Caspian (C.S. Lewis), in Spanish. I keep the English version open and read it along to help me learn the Spanish.

Another fun thing I do is watch movies and TV shows dubbed and/or with subtitles in Spanish. I've watched a couple episodes of this Spanish soap-opera online recently; these are kinda funny and they're so melodramatic! :)

I also participate in freerice.com...I can work on learning helpful Spanish words and phrases, and at the same time donate rice to people who need food.
