If you don't actually need it you won't learn it.

How do I get past the basic beginner level? I can learn how to ask where the bathroom is, what numbers and colours are, and talk about the weather.
But then the next step is just "oh yeah now learn the entire vocabulary of the language and all the advanced grammar rules".
How am I supposed to read or use immersion if I can't understand anything that isn't "I like apples. I have 4 brothers. Yesterday was sunny."?
Total bullshit.

1. Learn 1000 most common words with Anki
2. Start reading or watching shit
3. Look up shit you don't understand and make Anki cards for it
4. ???

Literally just use it everyday. Enable the translator in the web browser and browse 4chan in whatever language you're trying to learn. If you're the type who spends hours here that's a good way to use it everyday and learn some vocabulary from time to time

That will only assist your with vocabulary and even then it'll be hit or miss, fact is that the default translators are kind of shit and even good ones like deepL are like only 70% there.

You can easily turn it on and off to check and the translations are fine most of the time apart from the slang being used here. The thing is that you're using the language and seeing the same vocabulary every day so you don't forget it and your brain gets used to it

The way i personally got over beginner hell was: 1) Get a beginner textbook that you could find in a highschool or something, not for dedicated learners, the more didactic and "old-school" the better. It'll you give you the basic grammar rules and a modest vocabulary base (400~ of the most common words let's say) without having to think or use your brain you'll just memorize things to set you up for harder content.
2) Jump into bilingual content like the Easy French/German/whatever channel and put every word you don't understand (you should roughly understand 50%~ of the stufff you see) into Anki. Keep going at it until you have more than 1000 flashcards or until you can interact with easy native level content (street interviews etc)
3) When bilingual learning content just isn't challenging anymore go to native level content and watch/listen/read whatever content you like. If you don't understand a word or grammatical structure put it into Anki and keep Ankigooning.
4) ???
5) Profit.

Tl:dr just do what >>211955314 Anon said.

Can confirm that it works for French; i have no clue if it works for non-Indo-European languages.

Yes, it works exactly like this. First you learn the basics and then the rest.
>How am I supposed to read or use immersion if I can't understand anything that isn't "I like apples. I have 4 brothers. Yesterday was sunny."?
You search for answers, you look up words. Luckily, you can just ask chatgpt to explain any sentence, word, or piece of grammar these days. You thought it was all fun? Yeah, it's fun when you get through the beginner phase.
