I often run into "the wall," to borrow a phrase from marathon runners, and I need a stimulating project that has immediate usefulness. Learning simply for the sake of learning sometimes isn't enough to keep my attention, but working towards a tangible product just might do the trick (keeping Ramses advice in mind regarding respect for copyright).

Write at least one new sentence in your target language and make sure to learn all the words/conjugations etc that you used to construct that sentence. One sentence a day quickly adds up and 365 sentences later you're one giant step closer to being fluent :-) Keep a journal!

They'd translate a television show, make subtitles and publish these subtitles on the internet. The fuss wasn't about the fact that these subs were for illegal divx files, it was because the subs were simply an infringement of copyright. So translating something for yourself: ok. Publishing it? Only if you have permission or it doesn't contain copyright anymore. Not a learning tip from me, but a warning: some weeks ago there were some problems with Greek subbers.
