That takes YEARS & effort, unless you were already born and raised with it (like my English & Filipino). Even then, leaning to do basic things as a kid still takes effort, right?
I studied other languages, too, for academics, religious purposes, and for personal amusement. The key is constant use. Language is a tool, not just a subject. Keep practicing. Keep making mistakes, identifying them, and correcting them. Use it in your everyday life until it's part of you: You can (and do!) think in that language (even basic thoughts).
Be patient on yourself, though. Whenever you try to learn a new language, you're essentially starting-out as a baby again. (Who cares if you've earned a Masters in Nuclear Physics when you can't even count to 10 yet?) You have to re-learn how to describe thing, see the world, and even think. You have a WHOLE LIFE-TIME's worth to make-up for to reach your age-group's proficiency. It's not impossible, but it's not easy as pie, either. It's a journey of non-stop learning and improvement.
The most useful mindset/approach is from this Japanese guy named Jun, who married an American. English isn't just a subject to him, but an important part of his life. it changed my perspective and helped me out. Perhaps, it will help you, too. (Hint: Turn-on your subtitles, unless you're already fluent in Japanese.)

Yes. Learning a new language takes years, especially when its a second language.
I don't think it is, but I just get frustrated when I forget a word or how to say something. So I try hard to always incorporate all the languages I know.
Not at all. My friend is a polyglot :/ Russian, Czech, Ukrainian and English
