Find some teachers of the language on YouTube. Watch short videos daily. Since they are teaching the language it will be basic and you can use subtitles and speed to make it easier and hear and read at the same time.
Do this for a while until it is too easy then move on to world news in the target language again on YouTube and or on a site in English. As it is world news the events should be familiar.
Then move on to movies with subtitles .
The most important thing is daily contact with the language. Listening is the most important part as you need to understand first before you can begin to respond. It helps you structure the language and learn how to construct it.
