I like both of the suggestions by Ellie and Michael K. I’m not really into comics but have heard from several people that they’re a very good way to learn. Movies in English with Spanish subtitles will be really helpful as you start out too. Then, as you gain more language, English language shows with English subtitles will help reinforce your language until you have no need of subtitles at all. I think that a television series may be better than a movie in this regard because you’ll know the characters from episode to episode and not spend as much time trying to figure them out. Personally, I’ve recently started listening to Spanish language music and tried translating various songs. I find that it’s very good for learning new words and phrases. It’s not always correct for grammar though so be careful in that regard. Finding a language partner or tutor is well worth the time investment too. Lastly, try to write a little bit in English every day. You can submit your writing via the Notebook feature in iTalki and people are quite helpful in correcting your writing and offering suggestions to improve it. Best wishes for rapid and fun learning!

When I was a child, I learned to read through comics like Snoopy. After about a year of studying Spanish, I decided that I should try it again with anthologies of Snoopy Y Carlitos. It turned out to be a great idea. All of the grammar you might need to learn is there, but in small examples. You can also pick up a lot of vocabulary. I would write down the new words I learned and then upload them to Memrise which is an online flash card site so that I could practice them. I learned a lot of vocabulary that way.

When I'm self-studying a language, any language, I've found that music and film are really helpful if you can listen to them in the language you're studying and have your native language as subtitles and.or lyrics. Audio/visual things are great for immersing yourself in another language :)
