I'm not bilingual yet, but I would say take a course then go to the country/region it's spoken. Preferably for at least a few months. Immersion is the only way to really learn the language, I think. But this is just from years of fruitless study of Japanese. I've never been, and thus do not speak/write/understand/read it very well at all. I've probably learned more Spanish just by being around it on occasion.
I've also tried to learn Latin, and it's way harder than Japanese. So I disagree about the Romances. I think it will be easier to learn a third language period.
