To master a foreign language is a difficult task, it requires much time and training, patience and persistency. Learning ESP (English for Specific Purpose) is very alike.
Firstly, reading a literature about the specific subject is a must. Without it, you will not know the fundamental terms of your subject, what is very important. Reading a lot will help you not only to learn them but to understand your subject better and to gain about it more information.
What is more, speaking with other learners about the specific subject is highly advisable too. In this way you will expand your vocabulary and train your speaking skills.
In addition to this, there are many web sites, Tv programmes, which can help in learning too. Web sites are offering you chat rooms or games on your subject, some puzzles and tasks, solving them is not only useful but fun too. Watching Tv programmes about your subject (in English of course) is not so boring as reading books. Moreover, you may better memorize the information while watching than reading.
In conclusion, there are many ways of learning ESP, but the most important is to wish to learn. Then everything is possible and every choice of learning will be suitable and will help.

As far as learning another language, is concerned, can I put in a word for the international language, Esperanto?
Although Esperanto is a living language, it helps language learning as well.
Five British schools have introduced Esperanto in order to test its propaedeutic values. The pilot project is being monitored by the University of Manchester and the initial encouraging results can be seen at http://www.springboard2languages.org/Summary%20of%20evaluation,%20S2L%20Phase%201.pdf

This is not meant to be flip, but isn't Esperanto a well meaning but failed experiment? English is, by many definitions, the international language of choice. It is the language used by many non-native English speakers when communicating outside of their native languages.
I agree that the perception certainly is that Esperanto has "failed" But the perception belies perspective. A period of 121 years, in terms of human history, is just a short period.
During a short period of 121 years, Esperanto is now within the top 100 languages, out of 6,800 worldwide, according to the CIA factbook. It is the 17th most used language in Wikipedia, and in use by Skype, Firefox and Facebook.
Native Esperanto speakers,(those who have spoken the language since birth) include George Soros, Nobel Laureate Daniel Bovet, and World Champion Chess Player, Susan Polger. Yet many people still suggest that Esperanto is not a "living language
Apart from the previous You Tub I send like to see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_LV9XU
Professor Piron was a former translator at the United Nations. A glimpse of the language can be seen at http://www.lernu.net
