The most effective routine is the one you stick with for sure!

I love anki and use it for Spanish which is showing marked improvement. I do vocab and conjugation with Anki.

Then I just find other ways to immerse myself and call it a day.

- Spanish audio for sports whenever possible - Interfaces for personal computers/devices - Picking up the Spanish language weekly from the little box on the corner - Listening to Spanish artists - Reading the news in Spanish instead of English (One major benefit here is consuming far less news) - Writing notes for work and personal projects - Texting friends

It all really adds up over time and is definitely doable even as an adult, but it requires a ton of work, so being able to find ways to incorporate it into the activities I'm already doing is key for me on top of the more active Anki learning.

im in the exact same boat. Do you have any recs for news sites? I use el pais, but that has a lot of locked articles.

I'm at the... "the less news I consume the better" phase of my year lol so I haven't found much I visit regularly but Telemundo and AP News en Español were two good ones.
