I recommend learning English young.
If you ever want to speak English because it's easy to learn a language when you're young.

[zinc raven]

Time travel or potion of immortality.
When I was like 18 I was able to learn Japanese no problem 9 years later I'm having a hard time with other languages

As an 18 year-old right now, do you have any tips for learning a language?

How did you implement it into your life, and how can you practice it?

Was there a certain program or method you used to grow fluent in it? (However, I'm trying to stray away from Duolingo or something like that. It's unrealistic for me to use that application since I don't like being on my phone when I want to focus)

[fading kraken]

If you're trying to learn Japanese I can recommend some resources.
I started reading and watching the news in Japanese.
Singing in Japanese writing stories/poems in Japanese.
Listening to music playing games reading manga.
You can join social media groups on discord for people who want to learn English that speak the language you're learning and vice versa.

Duolingo it's pretty bad for most non-European languages.

I live in a multicultural city so I went to Japanese restaurants and ordered and I also spoke to people of the local import market in Japanese.

I'm considered an El Sabo kid in my family. I think it's interesting how you dived into it, so if it's easier to learn my native language in my life right now I think I should implement what you're telling me !

I plan to learn Spanish and Portuguese, so hopefully this works out!

[fading kraken]

Spanish and Portuguese are very similar remember the more you use the language and the more fun you having the easier it is.

Oh yeah also watching movies and television without subtitles is also a great thing to do

Don Quixote is a great Spanish novel
