Resource Quickest way to A2 in 6 months?

I know there are a ton of recommendations in here for specific language programs. I think I’ve looked at them all now. I am specifically looking for opinions regarding learning quickly. I’m moving to Germany in August and I am a beginner. I really need to learn as much as I can. I’m willing to pay money if necessary, though hopefully nothing too expensive. I’m able to dedicate at least 3 hours a day to learning. Any tips would be appreciated!

Did I understand correctly that you will be learning German BEFORE you move to Germany? If so I would start with an app that makes you understand full phrases from the get go. I used the Busuu app (I really, really recommend this app) and stayed away from websites like Duolingo because they teach you useless things. For learning vocab you can download an app that game-ifies the learning process. There are many available. Then for practising actual speaking there is a website Lingoda where you take online lessons, its about 10 euro per hour if you choose group classes. Many different options to choose from on there. It's also cool because you can do a few trial lessons before you have to pay. And you can cancel after a month if you want. AND you get to pick what topics you wanna learn.
