i mean the way humans are made to learn languages is just simple immersion, consume media in the target language and your brain will figure it out.
the one thing to keep in mind is that you don't want subtitles, because then you won't actually be paying attention to the target language. If you can stomach it then children's media is great because it's specifically made to be simple and teach children the language.
