After getting the basics in school French from a Canadian, I was posted to the Belgian Ardennes where I had to learn French just to live. Then I found out it was Walloonish NOT real French. Then I might my future French wife, and then found out she spoke mostly French Argot.. had to resort to book learning of real French after that.

Immersing yourself in the culture is by far the best way to learn... but beware of nuances of the language and regional variations!!!
