Well, since you wanted to know specifically about study techniques, here's one I'm fond of: flash cards. With pictures. A dangerous logical fallacy in foreign language learning is that a word in the target language "means" a word in your native language. This implies that your native language is somehow the "real" one.

Words mean things or concepts, and it's better to create a link in your brain from the word to the concept, rather than from the word to another word, which then only has to be applied to a concept anyway. Think of it as saving a step. :)
