I'm trying to learn German over the summer, so I figured

Die welle (the wave)

None of these options will do it

Try reading a random german book while memorizing german declension charts instead

I have a parallel text of The Metamorphosis I'm working through too, as well as a German Grammar book that I'm trying to do at least an hour a day on.
It's just slow going, and I figure if I'm going to kick back and relax after some studying, I might as well absorb some extra info.

Try German cartoons to keep it simple for a start. Decide for yourself if subbed or not depending on how much you understand already.

I discovered this when learning Spanish
https://www.planet-schule.de/wissenspool/extra/inhalt/extra-deutsch.html
for every episode you have a pdf with the text (can't guarantee they have perfect spelling if i understood correct this was made by the English). It is for language learners. The story is that a dude from the USA comes to Germany and lives at the place of a former penpal and they try to help him fit in.

Watch movies/series you know very well in german with english subs,its the best way to also get a sense for the vocal aspect of the language.

If you're a beginner, watch German films with English subs so you can become familiar with the sound of language. Watching English films with subs in your target language is a meme in my opinion; you won't learn anything unless you write down the sentences and unfamiliar vocabulary. Even then, trying to learn a language just by reading subs is incredibly ineffective. If you really want to learn, watch German films with English subs and then become proficient enough in the language that you can watch stuff in German with German subtitles. Someone linked the show "Extra" and I suggest taking up their recommendation. The language in "Extra" is nothing advanced, so you should be able to understand the German version with German subs once you reach an intermediate level. If there's anything you don't understand, write it down and look it up afterward. With time, you'll begin to understand the spoken language and you'll come to a point where you'll no longer need subtitles.
