for the other languages it was duolingo mostly, and talking to real people helps a lot. i live abroad, so immersion is right there.
I find learning all the food first really helps me,. I learn a lot about the phonemes nad rhythms of the language and after I’m comfortable with those, it’s just a repetition game for the words and grammar.
My 100% speed trick if you can stand it is watching the same episode of TV or movie once per day for a couple of weeks in that language and paying absolute attention to the show for that span of time each day.
It boosts, speech, listening, and comprehension so crazy much over 2-3 weeks, but of course is boring after a few days.
