The "Teach Yourself" series is pretty good.
As someone who has learned a 2nd language, I find that 2 things are important.
1) Don't be shy - repeat things out loud. You need to build confidence to gain fluency.
2) Think in the language. By this, I mean really visualize the actions and object when you repeat things to yourself. It's one thing to have your brain memorizing words and syntax, but it is another thing to associate things in your daily life in another language.
