#1 Tip: Be motivated. No one can do this for you. If you're not motivated, don't kid yourself, find something else to be passionate about.

Search this topic for others who asked. In general you'll hear to get a book (The New Penguin Russian Course, or other).
There's also the college course (free):

Get a penpal or voice chat going. Talking to a native one a week (or more) will get you to sound right and they'll be able to point out errors in any learning materials.
