  1. Learn the basics. This is the easy part and you should be able to make good progress. Find a textbook or good online resource that covers things like the alphabet, pronunciation, basic Grammer, etc.
  2. Practice and accumulate vocabulary. You can do this basically however you want, but I would recommend the tool Anki (https://apps.ankiweb.net/), but you can use Duolingo or whatever. Learning vocabulary is key to being able to understand anything. Practice and repetition is key to gaining speed and fluency.
  3. Use the language. Talk to people. Talk to yourself. Watch videos. Read. Play games. You figure it out, but actually using the language is how you grow and get better at it.
