I think for language learning we need to imitate those that are best at learning languages: babies. They progress through listening a TON, then dabble in speech, then into writing. If the goal is to become fluent (speak and respond entirely for a day), then I think you’ve got to first do your best to increase the percentage of your day you’re listening and speaking that language.
Novellas for language learners sounds fantastic! I'll definitely look into that, thanks. I have some Spanish novels but I'm not capable of tackling them yet.
Duolingo is definitely subpar. I ended getting lingodeer at a discount and I like that app pretty well.
Russian is on my list! I plan to start adding to Russian into my studies later this year or next.
Check out Dreaming in Spanish. Full on Immersion rather than acquisition, grammar drills, etc.
Thanks!
Love this!

I love that! Gotta crave that pure spiritual milk.
