Try accessing web pages targeted at beginners! They explain basic grammar concepts really well. For the three languages I've taken a serious dive into studying, at least, they've proven to be excellent resources to get me started. Don't be afraid to use multiple sources, either. Some things may either be incomplete or locked behind a paywall. You may also find consensus on information, to make sure it's correct. Once you've gotten started, be sure to practice with someone to get the language engrained in your brain. And be sure to expose yourself to media in the language, to get used to the sound, even if you don't understand much of anything. And of course, don't push yourself too hard in the start! Burnout can be a killer of progress, so be sure to take care when beginning your journey with your new language. I wish you luck, and hope that fluency finds its way to you.

I think it depends on your goals. If you're just trying to read, I'd say learning grammar, the writing system, and sentence structure is the best way. If you're just wanting to learn how to speak and be conversational, I think starting with shadowing concentrating on pronunciation and vocabulary is the best way. If it's for business or you're already in the country, a language school would be the best way to get started.

Do you think that by talking/chatting with natives you can learn the language? Even if you use a translator?

A little curiosity about «ananas» 🍍
In various languages, pineapple is called ananas (or similar writing). Pineapples have a South American origin and are part of the Bromeliaceae Family. Ananas is originated from a indigenous term (tupi/guarani), naná, meaning "excellent fruit" and it was first used back in the 1500's. Neat,... read more

Went to German Fest a few months ago!
I went for two days in a row out of three! I was the only one I ran into that actually spoke good German though after my years learning it.. ugh. So much for German fest in America. I wanted more German speakers to connect with.
