One resource you may not be aware of is https://languagetransfer.org. It is easily the best language acquisition system I've ever used (I did the Spanish course). I've previously learned French, German, Sesotho and Japanese using a variety of techniques, and I wish Language Transfer had been around then!

The courses are entirely audio (using a convenient app or downloadable MP3 files) and it all runs on donations.

And you can speak each of those fluently?

I could at one time. I have lived in Germany, Lesotho and Japan after growing up in Canada. German and Sesotho are rusty because I haven't been exposed to them in decades. I still sometimes find myself occasionally coming up with Sesotho when I'm trying to remember a word in another language.
