She is also writing from an incredibly privileged point of view. Taking language courses for 500USD and more is not something most people can afford and is really the exception. There are many courses for foreigners, some are even free or subsidized by the government.

As someone who learned German, forgot it and re-learned it, it's also a terrible method to learn a foreign language, unless you're really motivated by speaking with other newbies.
The best approach with the most evidence for sucess is Comprehensible Input[-1], which requires nothing more than access to content you want to consume in the language of your choice
Ironically this was the most helpful youtube and twitch ever were for me, since I find mainstream German TV to be pretty bad (I find the same, or worse, with American TV to be fair)
