Immersion. Duolingo (blegh) is useful for structured grammar learning, but I’m gaining a lot through music, podcasts, and switching some apps to French. Recently started translating comic books since they’re relatively simple but fun. For the specific dialect I want to learn, I’m getting help from my friend and I found a French club through my job.

As much as I hate Duolingo’s recent politics, their podcast is one of the most useful. It’s essentially bilingual Radiolab. At least I know that doesn’t have AI.
