Language learning question: I struggle with self motivated learning and do much better with a class, and all I ever hear about online in regards to language learning is some variation of "do it yourself" and while there are methods, there aren't lessons unless you count dubious products advertised at me. So question is this, how does one that requires a lot of structured learning go about learning a language effectively?
The thing with language acquisition is that it necessarily requires broad input. You're usually not going to get that from a structured setting specifically catering towards learners of a particular language. What you might be able to find are Story Listening classes modelled after Beniko Mason's work, but those aren't the most common.
I would push back a little on the idea that you NEED structured classes to learn a language. That's how you might learn about a language, which can be a speed boost for language acquisition, but it will not get you to actually acquiring a language on its own.
If you struggle with self-motivation towards learning, the solution is probably not in relying on external motivation, because it can be unreliable. You need consistency in order to acquire a language. What you can do instead is cultivate your interest and curiosity in a language until they overpower your reluctance- once you're at that point, if you start engaging with the language in question and forming your own ideas about it, making your own observations, etc. you will be invested enough that the self-motivation comes naturally.
You can do this by a bit of immersion, maybe watching/reading/listening the same piece of media several times, or bringing yourself into a social situation where you don't have to use the language in question, but are surrounded by it for extended periods, e.g. a coffee shop in a part of a city predominantly composed of speakers of that language. As long as you don't put pressure on yourself to understand or produce the language, just sit and observe and take it in, it will help build your curiosity and interest.
