For extra notes, I had previously neglected French. I live in a city where French is extremely important (Canada) and not knowing French is frustrating me, especially due to my past laziness and procrastination I want to put ALOT more focus on learning the language, especially since it will open up more job opportunities

I like to watch youtube videos on grammar concepts and then write them down in a notebook. If you havent learned all the tenses then thats an easy place to start. When watching french tv shows or reading something in french, make a note whenever you dont understand why something was said in a certain way, and then you can find out why it was said in that way by watching a video on it or consulting ai. I always write it down because I often forget and I want to have it written to remember.

For comprehension, I listen to french podcasts, watch shows in french with french subtitles, and read books and manga in french. If you try to read or watch or listen to something too high level, you'll just end up translating every sentence, still, I never want to "ruin" french for myself by making it a painful experience, so I only read or watch stuff that I would in english, even if the level is a bit too high.

You will need to identify the gaps in your knowledge to know what you should try to learn. I dont know how much a beginner you are, any french learner should learn (as I said) the tenses, which verbs get conjugated with Etre instead of Avoir when in the passé composé, direct and indirect objects, what a reflexive verb is, the difference between qui and que.

# fast compass Thanks, what else do good french leaners do that I'm missing

You'll have to try different methods for a while and see what suits you. Once you're happy with a few, my advice would be not to obsess on finding the optimal roster of tools and more on persevering despite your doubts. A learner that uses less than optimal methods over a long time beats one that changes routines every week. If you're studying intensively, question your methods every month or so.
