German intensive and autodidact
Good afternoon, I want to ask the German speakers if they can recommend a good method to start studying the language, intensively and self-taught, 4'5-6 hours every day.
In the same way, any other advice you can give me about the learning process, I will be very grateful.
Thank you very much for your attention.

Hi Jaime,
one can learn every language autodidactically, in theory. There are some languages though where some assistance can be a great benefit to your learning when your particular mother tongue is not part a group of languages that would share many cognates.
A good way to learn any language (in my opinion) is to learn by imitating native speakers as much as I can. You could for instance reach out for the YouTube channel "EasyGerman" that comes up with funny & decent videos where native speakers are asked different questions in German and both the questions & the answers are shown as subtitles below. Observe how Germans would reply, what filler words they would use & (what I personally do) watch their lips, how do their mouths move while speaking? Can you see the tongue? That can help you to pronunce German better.
Another good start into the world of German is "Manuels Weg" which a student of mine showed to me, afaik you can find it at the Deutsche Welle's webpage.
A good way to learn a language can be a book - too. A good start can be "Deutsch für Besserwisser" which is in German, but I like the approach of the little smartypant who appears like a "Grammar Nazi" :-) It's a fun way to learn, even though it's a book.
And of course, if you feel more confident, reach out for language partners :-)
