∞ tips: study everyday even if it's for 5 minutes

↻ intermediate plateau: most common 10.000 words

⇄ apps: ankicard, youtube, readlang

➜ websites: wiktionary, wordreference, clozemaster, hinative

• step 1: familiarize with the alphabet, learning how it's supposed to sound even if pronunciation isn't perfect, then learn the first 100-300 most common words as well as numerals for counting, skipping the boring lessons about greeting and introduction; also look up youtube channels run by natives that offer an organized playlist teaching everything about the language
• step 2: search one or two free language learning websites online, dedicated exclusively to the target language, and study all the groups of vocabulary offered in them (food, family, travel etc; besides adverbs, conjunctions, adjectives and such if possible—no need to learn their rules just yet, just their general meaning)
• step 3: once done with vocabulary, study all grammar-related content in those websites: since a good amount of words have already been learned, reading and making sentences should be way easier as grammar comprehension won't be impaired by vocabulary all the time
• step 4: learn everything about verb tenses and how to conjugate them, this is the most crucial part, so do as many exercises and repetitions as necessary; second most important are prepositions
• step 5: take 2-3 days to understand the concept behind more difficult grammar rules, look up several articles about them; this is also a form of reviewing content and picking up on details previously missed
• step 6: use a diary or social media account as a way of sealing certain concepts or words in memory and practicing writing in the target language so that it can be revisited later
• step 7: watch movies with subs and youtube videos spoken in the target language, while also reading articles and/or a book in said language, focusing on content that is actually within interest (horror, creepypastas etc)
• step 8: use telegram or another messaging app that allows self-sent messages as a place to record, check and brush up pronunciation as a way in that it can be revisited later; speaking as well as auditive comprehension are usually the most difficult parts, which is why they necessitate more time and attention and are saved for last (so they can become the sole focus)
