I get alot of free time at work and I was is it possible to learn another language without having to vocalise it? I know that sounds silly but I'll fix the vocalisation some other time
Also whats the best way? I've seen people advertising apps and such. Maybe I can learn via youtube?
I'm interested in French, Russian, Chinese, German and Spanish. I'm afraid of Russian and Chinese because of the moonrunes. Thought that might be pertinent

I have studied all of those at some point or another. I would highly recommend that you start speaking and listening practice as soon as you can, because it's by far the hardest part of learning languages. If you absolutely insist on only learning reading and writing now, that's up to you, but I would recommend you don't.
French/Spanish are good for babby's first language, German is a step up but not a terribly hard language. The cases are what makes it more difficult. Russian isn't bad once you learn the Cyrillic alphabet which is quite easy despite how intimidating it looks. It also has cases.
I would only recommend Chinese if you know you can dedicate yourself to it. Tonal languages are notoriously difficult, and you will be memorising characters forever. Language learning shouldn't be done by lazy people in general, but Chinese is especially bad if you lack work ethic.
Head to /int/'s sticky for language learning resources. Textbooks are your best bet, and I would recommend classes if you can. Apps are good supplementary sources but shouldn't be relied on as your only learning resource. /int/ also has threads for certain languages where you can ask grammatical questions if you're having trouble.
