The best way to learn a language before you start practicing

Let’s say you want to learn Spanish and know nothing about it at all but have the money to spend an entire year learning it, how would you do it?<br><br>My first answer is that I would take an entire year of dual language training in college. But what if you can’t do that.<br><br>My second answer is that every day for 1 hour you get trained on grammar rules with dual language training. For example, you are instructed on the English rules and then trained on the Spanish rules with examples, then you do the same for a different area of grammar the next day as well as including a review of the past material. <br><br>For 1 hour a day you get trained on three different topics of vocabulary. For example, you start with basic things like counting numbers in Spanish (1, 2, 3, 4, 5) and then you are trained on what it sounds like before moving on to basic pronouns (he, her, you, me, us, them), and then you move on to basic sentence structures (hello, how are you, I like you)<br><br>For 1 hour a day you listen to a native speaker speak with the training on how to listen to and repeat back the sounds the speaker is making. For example, training on how to roll the r or to say the Spanish v correctly. Again you learn about rhyming words, sentence structure, and other things related to speech in this way.<br><br>For 1 hour every day you are trained on how to write the language including how to read it as well. You learn one letter of the alphabet a day, along with the numbers. You learn basic sentence structure, and you learn how to write things like dates, times, directions, and locations. <br><br>For 1 hour a day you are trained on how to answer common questions like “who are you” or “what are you asking for” or “how are you?”. <br><br>The idea here is that before you start to practice you are trained on how to speak, how to write, and how to know the grammar rules of the language before you start to practice it. You learn the three other areas of language, writing, and reading and listening before you start to practice the language. <br><br>I am sure that there are many ways you could approach this, but before starting to learn a language I think it makes a lot of sense to do it this way before starting to practice it.
