Reading intensely means understanding every word. It’s slow and can be boring. You want to read for enjoyment. Eventually you’ll pick up grammar and vocabulary by osmosis. In some ways it’s how you learned your native language. You can study grammar if you need to once you have a better grasp.

You can also watch foreign language tv shows and films. I do with the target language subtitles on.

I don’t speak any languages I’m learning fluently, but I am learning and I hope to be someday.
