Srilu’s Answer
Learning a new language when you aren't a child anymore can be challenging. There are some tricks that you can use that will make picking up the language easier and more enjoyable.
1. Watch movies, shows in the language you are trying to learn. A lot of Netflix shows for example come with subtitles (in German, Spanish etc.)
2. Read children's story books - the words and sentences are simple.
3. Make a list of the 50 most commonly used English words and refer to it often. As you progress, you can keep adding more to this list.

Read plenty of material from children level to normal books, magazines, or blogs. This can help you steadily increase the amount of knowledge towards the language and build up your ability to comprehend the language better.
Practice speaking the words using tools or references that come from shows or movies. Knowing the language is different from being able to properly speak the language. There are many people that know how to correctly say a word or phrase, but when they try to speak it, they are unable to make out the correct sounds. Repeat speaking some words over multiple times in order to have a better grasp on what the words actually mean.

Try to watch English-language shows or movies with subtitles in your native language. Depending on the quality of the subtitles, though, this may not give you an accurate LITERAL translation, since obviously different languages may express things differently. One idea would be to find YouTube channels with auto-generated subtitles in your native language, since those would probably be a more literal translation and easier to compare to your native language.
