When I was little, if you wanted to learn another language, you got a book and 
tapes.  Well, tapes or records, actually.  Then you played the tapes and 
listened as hard as you could.  You played the same tapes again and 
again.  Each tape had about two hours of listening practice.  If you were lucky, 
you could find six or seven tapes for one language, but that was all.  So really, 
you were trying to learn to speak and understand a language with only 12 or 
14 hours of practice.  All that changed with the advent of the internet and 
you-tube in particular.  Nowadays, you can find hundreds and hundreds of 
hours of almost any language.  This is how I finally learned to understand 
Spanish.  I got onto youtube and found news shows.  My daughter found out 
Disney translates songs and movie clips.  I even watched parts of Frozen and 
The Little Mermaid in Spanish.  Then I got on netflix and watched Jane the 
Virgin in Spanish.  After that I found out you can watch telenovelas on 
Telemundo, so I watched Al Otro Lado del Muro, all 78 hours of it.  In my 
opinion, telenovelas are the best and most fun way to learn ANY language!!!
