The best way to learn a new language is to immerse yourself in it fully - that way it’s infused with the culture and you get a far more holistic experience, plus you can pick up the slang and modern terminology that means you don’t sound like you learned to speak from a cd. Many people choose to take regular holidays in a country to try and pick it up in stages, if relocating isn’t an option.
It’s probably easier to do in North America than you might think, because it’s a country built on immigration, and there are many enclaves where communities of people retain the language of their country of origin as well as speaking English. Naturally the French spoken in Montreal, for example, will have several differences to that spoken in Paris. But if you want to learn while in Canada, you should be able to get by quite easily in France as well. Here are some of the country’s most common secondary languages, and where best to learn them.
