What would be the best way to learn a new language ? I have always wanted to learn Spanish or Italian. What would the best steps be to get the best outcome?

Reading books would be the best way to learn.

Have an English book and the same book in the other language and compare the words.

the absolute best way is to take time to learn the verbs in present, future and past tense while learning vocabulary. Then that would make you have a basic understanding. Then obviously watch tv in that language and try and speak to people. The fastest way is living in that country and learning every day exposure. But yeah thats generally my advice. If i know a verb and the rules i can sort of put a sentence together in spanish if i need to which is cool.

Note that its normal to not be perfect, You see all the guys that sound funny in english but we know what they mean. The communication is more important than that grammar book crap imo

I'm half Italian but I never knew the language growing up but as I became more mature I felt like I should embrace my culture more. I first starting out by watching YouTube videos and incorporating it into my daily routine. After about 6 months I can confidently have a conversation in Italian. Ps Laoushu on YouTube is amazing to watch when it comes to languages
