I download old Pimsleur mp3s from TPB and listen to them when travelling. It's super repetitive, but I find it really useful to learn some quick basic conservation. If you can listen to them with a partner, it's even more efficient, because you can practice pronunciation together. It's been two years since we listened to Japanese bits (trip was cancelled), but we still joke about the words we remember. (I also use Duolingo, but you have to very consciously make an effort to learn. And I'm mostly just doing it for fun and exposure to languages)
