Other than passive sources like books, movies, radio, I worked a lot with tutors both in person and through iTalki. One tutor (now back in France) became a good friend, which was validating for my language learning goals (being able to connect with people I wouldn't have otherwise due to a language barrier). Lots of up and downs along the way, and currently, but I've found that the more I work the better I see what I need to do differently. I also did a couple group classes but found tutoring gave better value.
