What's a good method of learning a language without paying

I speak 5 languages and Im pretty sure you can learn this on your own without paying for any classes.
Step 1: Learn vocabulary (singular and plural). Try to learn 5 pages everyday. This might seem alot at first. But after a while it will take less and less time to learn words. ALWAYS learn them both ways.
2: Once youve learned like 20 pages, start learning some verbs. Learn the present time first. And slowly build towards other times once youve learned the most important verbs.
3. Only start learning the grammar once youve learned the most important verbs and you know alot of words!
For this I would recommend you buy/download a book. As I dont really know what language you want to learn, I cant really give any solid advice that can work for all languages.

Once youve learned alot of vocabulary, you can conjugage some times and know the basics of the grammar start READING! Reading is one of the most effective ways to learn a language. Look words up you dont understand and keep reading. It might be a little tiresome at first, but youll improve alot faster this way.

This works well for Germanic/Latin languages, I have no idea if you could do this aswell for Asian languages btw.

> alot
> twice
Put that on your list.

I would disagree. I think vocabulary is secondary until a full grasp of grammar is had. I dislike also the modern way of learning phrases.

you say you speak 5 languages, I have to ask. do you mean you can fluently speak them as well as understand with clarity casual conversation? or is it just that you can read it? I'm trying to learn French and I find proper pronunciation and understanding spoken French to be the hardest part. I know you're supposed to "immerse" yourself but I'm a broke bitch and can't afford to up and move to France

>try to read a book in your target language
>those unknown words will never end

The struggle is real because there is little instant gratification with that

I'm the opposite because I learned via immersion. I moved to France for a year after only two semesters of college French, so now I can hold a conversation well, but my written grammar is absolute trash.
