Go to the countries of the source languages if possible, mix with locals (not touristy sense). I used to go before Covid, nearly every year, to different parts of both countries. Now I'll go again. That is the best then, if possible. [Edited at 2023-01-17 15:03 GMT]
Yes, expensive it sure is. From Malta you have to take a plane to go anywhere at all, except for Sicily. Then you can take trains but the worst part is from Sicily to Rome, but still worth it if you can afford it or spare money for it. Apart from languages, travelling is enriching

When I waste my time watching movie series, I do it in English. British series are great for listening to various accents. The latest fun is watching the Gomorra series in Italian with the English subtitles. It just sounds cool, and you can learn some Italian curses too.

Obssession is the key. I am obsessed with French film critics on utube, as well as politics and current affairs. During the recent presidential elections, I could listen to Eric Zemmour for hours.

Yes - I watch Italian TV all the time and I keep up, as best I can, with events in Italy when I can't be there physically. I do this not because I have to as part of my work as a translator, but because I'm interested and, to an extent, personally involved.
