Learning french right now and using the methods I used for spanish (Anki, Language Transfer, Podcasts, Ted Talks) but since this site is full of gigabrains I'm wondering if anyone has other methods/tips/ideas I should explore to get to fluent faster?

founder Brud (acq dapper labs) and FWB. mostly making music and software

Currently: building in music tech. Formerly: Spotify, Songkick, AWAL, artist mgmt and more.

Listening to ted talks in the language i'm learning because they usually have really good transcripts and if I miss a word or don't know a word I can find it / add it to my anki

When you say Ted Talks, do you mean just listening to regular Ted Talks in that language? Or talks in English with tips about language learning?

Duolingo and Lingvist are my go-to language apps.

Also french films are ofc amazing. In the older ones (eg nouvelle vague era) they speak slowly enough for a learner to grasp stuff esp with French subtitles on at same time. Makes learning less dry.

100% immersion if you can is the best and fastest way. Could be fluent in 3weeks. That's what I did anyway.

I’ve always used immersion as a way to learn new languages. Try digging into a local French community and learn like a baby.
