Babbel and Memrise are those apps where you learn new words in the target language.
I started learning a third foreign language using babbel at first
However I believed that did not fit me and I switched to memrise.
Though both of those apps have the same features with learning new words in different situations and space repitition, I believed memrise was the better fit for me.
Now babbel have a great blog regarding languages which I like
Pimsleur has been around since the 70s and it get you used to speaking.
They have 30 lessons in each scenario where you repeat after the speaker to practice your target language.
Each lesson is for 30 minutes and the best way is to do each lesson everyday to keep up with the consistency of practicing speaking.
Some languages like spanish french and italian have five levels of lessons for 30 days. So if you complete all five levels you would have spent a total of 75 hours in about 6 months of practicing speaking.

Options To Choose From In Language Learning
By Cheval John
Now that you know the importance of learning foreign languages, the question is how do you start?
They are plenty of options to choose from.
You can look to youtube to see which content is out there in the target language you want to learn.
If you are looking to learn italian here are some channels to get started
Easy Italian
This channel allows you to follow along the conversation they have with the locals while having the subtitles in it.
They ask questions ranging from what is your favorite food to sports.
If you are interesting in sports then I would suggest
DAZN Italia
It is a sports channel targeted to the italian language.
They have pregame shows live before the soccer match occurs
Here is an example of live show from dazn italia
Listen to music in the target language
At first it will sound like jibberish at the beginning because you are getting use to a different language.
Over time you will get use to the rythm of the language and it will get easier if you are consistent.
I would suggest starting out at 30 minutes a day listening to the music so you would not get overwhelmed.
One app I would recommend is tunein radio app.
They have a selection of music channels you can choose from in the target language.
If you like music from the 70s 80s and early 90s, they are channels dedicated to that.
No matter the language you can find the music in those genres.
I would also suggest using apps like Babbel Memrise and Pimsleur
