As one who knows that he doesn't know much, I'm in favor of any ways or
means to learn.
Having said that, my own experience is that learning a language, at
least for me, takes lots of time. I find
that I need time to absorb, reflect, get it wrong, correct it, and then
hopefully progress somewhat.
For me (I repeat, "for me"), a small amount of time spent daily nets
more than a lot of time spent sporadically.
