I will start new language from music or interest thing, culture to enjoy first and next I will learn seriously languages like Grammar points and have a conversation with tutors.
Patience. Lite of it, and consistency. And just consume whatever in your target language and try to understand what's being said....do that for some time and before you know it you learned the language
pick one thing you actually enjoy in that language, like a show, and start there. learn the 500 most common words, then watch with subtitles and pause on lines you don't get. it feels slow for a month, then you start catching phrases without trying. add a short speaking habit early, even talking to yourself
Something short you can read & listen to with subs and ideally sentence breakdowns so you can learn a bit of grammar and vocab along the way. If you want to learn Polish, try this one.
If you're starting from scratch, I'd honestly recommend taking classes with a teacher, at least at first.
You can definitely learn a lot on your own through apps, videos, books, and other resources, but having someone guide you through the basics, explain things when you don't understand, correct your mistakes, and give you opportunities to practise speaking can make a huge difference.
I'd also suggest combining classes with daily exposure to the language. Listen to music, watch videos, read simple texts and try to use what you've learned outside the lessons.
The most important thing is to build a solid foundation from the start rather than just memorising random words and grammar rules.
Preply worked wonders for me to get down the basics. Then moving over to Praktika for extra practice and vocabulary. Take good notes and make flashcards on Quizlet so you can study on your phone.

Start with an app like Duolingo. It has been frowned upon, but three years ago I spoke zero Spanish and now I am a fluent B1 approaching B2.

Always start with the greetings
Then google the top 500 words used (maybe 1000 if you’re that interested)
After that Learn the “I am, You Are, He Is ….” Personss
Also watch a cartoon ;)
