How should you learn a language on your own?

have a few resources, stick to them, move forward on each book and app at the same time, make lots of sentences, have imaginary conversations with furniture, when watching something in ur target language try to have ur own response to what they say, have sticky notes all alaround around on difficult words/grammar, try and translate every word and number u see or hear to that language, even ur thoughts, even if it's one word inbetween or less.




don't expect Duolingo to be the answer.

finding someone native to help u through would be great
