I always imagined that if I really wanted to learn Spanish without living among Spanish speakers, I'd put on Family Guy or some other show with simple English and that has good subs and dubs. Then either use English audio with Spanish subs and perhaps after getting used to it a bit Spanish dubs with English subs. And after getting the hang of basics, Spanish with Spanish dubs. As Family Guy is so simple you'd get the context from the show, know a word here and there and your brain fills in the holes. Not at first, and then quite badly, but I think if you have like the very basics down, like a weeks course or something, and then you just start binging a show you know like that, constantly on the background, I'd assume you'd be a somewhat functional speaker in a year or two at least. Or you'll just learn what "giggity" is in Spanish and nothing else. Either or. Or something in between. Or not.
Nevermindme just passing by I've no actual suggestions
