I remember a scene in the The 13th Warrior, where the Arab character travelling with the Norsemen suddenly starts speaking to them in their language after spending many weeks/months just listening and watching them. Apparently there is a "passive" learning method that was studied by someone that showed adults can learn foreign languages as quickly as children when they are fully immersed but are not encouraged to speak or study the language. I forget the study now...
Children need to wait for their brains to mature before they can learn language, before that they actually fall back on primate simbolic language. Where as adults are ready to learn a spoken language right off the bat they just must have the will.
Meanwhile I learned english by simply watching american cartoons, and thus I am currently learning german by simply watching german YT videos (if anyone knows good content in german please share it with me!).
Planning on coming out with a bunch in a short period of time cause the algorithm likes it that way but for now the channel is gonna be dormant for a bit
Duolingo isn't necessarily bad, its just not the only way to learn a language. In my opinion it should be used as a learning supplement along with other resources. I do love duolingo too tho!

People learn to ride a bike by riding a bike, people learn to cook by cooking, people learn to speak a language by speaking that language
