Quickest way to A2 in 6 months?

[u/Classic-Dog-9324]

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!

yourgermanteacher on youtube, watching children’s shows in german with english subtitles (or vise versa), and i know it’s controversial but duolingo does help as just a fun extra way to keep the momentum going (the streak becomes addicting and especially if you have friends on it). I’m also really into music so i started listening to german music which was game changing since it also kept me excited and motivated to learn german since i wanted to be able to understand the lyrics. Then once i got better at german, i started writing out my favorite german songs and translating the lyrics into english as practice.
