I don't think there is such a thing called "the best way". It may well be rather individual, depending on a wide range of factors, from student's talent for foreign languages to the goals and purposes why they want to learn it - and anything in between. But in general, I would say, regardless of your level, just go ahead and use it. Jump into water and swim. Practice, struggle, get frustrated, make mistakes, try to talk to people, read... just stay in touch with the language on a daily basis. And then, one day you'll wake up realizing that you truly learned it.

Hi, Ibrahim! You must have meant - the difference between adverbs and adjectives. Sometimes they are the same - then they are mostly irregular - fast fast. He does things fast. - ADV + VERB He is a fast speaker. - ADJ + NOUN In 99% the difference is the addition of -LY to an ADJECTIVE (answers to a question WHAT IS HE LIKE? eg.) -careful- and ---> that's how you get the ADVERB (answers to a question HOW?) -carefully- He is a careful driver. - ADJ + NOUN He drives carefully. - ADV + VERB
