I read many great approaches here. One thing that I have the impression it was not mentioned is song lyrics. It’s like syntax and vocabulary get somehow absorbed or something. And it’s fun!
Fair enough! Now that I think about it, maybe I should have specified that this is an online approach. It includes finding them, reading them and having a dictionary for translating them. Then, at some point, you learn them by heart. Also, I don’t think that just doing this is enough, but it somehow speeds up the initial process, especially for speaking.
Any nowadays there’s so much slang and fake words thrown in that it’s probably more harmful then good when learning languages. At least with current music anyways.

I learned most of the German I know through German music and a little bit of Spanish from Latino music
Song lyrics are difficult (for me). I have difficulty understanding song lyrics even in my native language sometimes.
