Every single opportunity you get, get a little practice in! Whether it's reading something in your native tongue and thinking about the foreign equivalent, or realizing someone in your immediate environment is speaking your language and striking up a conversation when appropriate. I wouldn't intrude on a conversation, but I'd definitely look for an opportunity to learn from someone about their language and culture.
I'm focusing on Russian at the moment, but I know a little Polish. It just so happened I chanced across two people speaking Polish yesterday. They were wearing name tags and on those tags I saw a mishmash of strz, cz, and sz. Definitely Polish.
"Vy mowicie po polsku?" is all it takes to start.
