Speak with native speakers. Get involved in language exchange groups and have conversations with native speakers of Spanish. Our first languages weren't learned from books,eBooks, Tweets or what have you; they were learned by trying to speak it and being corrected. The method is still totally valid.And don't use Rosetta Stone. 
If you need info on where to find such groups,send me a PM. Not sure if I can paste links here.
It depends on your level of Spanish and what you need to practice. If you are beginner level, reading books and watching TV shows and movies in Spanish will be overwhelming. If you are more advanced and you are targeting a specific skill, like improving your aural skills, then there are different things you can practice. If you supply more specifics, I am happy to share what I can based on my experience teaching myself Spanish, and becoming really close to fluent (I test at level C2 in just 5 years, mostly through self-study)
I would really like to hear more about your methods of study. Everyone has a different idea and I find them really interesting. I'm a beginner, but not a beginning beginner if you know what I mean. Movies are overwhelming and I'm reading only childrens books right now. I look forward to hearing how you've done it.

Margherite,,,It would take way too long to explain here. You can private message me for details about a book I wrote, and my website, where I share my perspective on learning Spanish efficiently and on a budget. But I may get banned from the site if I promote it here. Or maybe the SpanishDict gods will read this and give me permission to mention it?
