In my L1-acquisition class two weeks ago, our professor talked about how only 9% of the speech a baby hears is single words. Everything else is phrases and sentences, onslaughts of words and meaning!
Thus, a baby not only has to learn words and their meanings but also learn to segment lots of sounds INTO words. Doyouwantalittlemoresoupyesyoudoyoucutie. Damn.
When she talked about HOW babies learn to segment words our professor said, and I love it, "babies are little statisticians" because when listening to all the sounds, they start understanding what sound is likely to come after another vs which is not.
After discussing lots of experiments done with babies, our professor added something that I already knew somewhere in my brain but didn't know I know: All this knowledge is helpful when learning an L2 as well:
Listen to natives speaking their language. Original speed. Whatever speaker. Whatever topic.
It is NOT about understanding meaning. It is about learning the rhythm of the language, getting a feeling for its sound, the combination of sounds, the melody and the pronunciation.
Just how babies have to learn to identify single words within waves of sounds, so do adults learning a language. It will help immensely with later (more intentional) listening because you're already used to the sound, can already get into the groove of the languge.
Be as brave as a baby.
You don't even have to pay special attention. Just bathe in the sound of your target language. You'll soak it up without even noticing.

Does anyone have any fave German listening material for immersion?
I'm aware of EasyGerman on YouTube and various programs aimed at learners, but I'm looking more for TV shows, YouTube series, or streamers. Podcasts are fine too.

I think, broken down to its essence, learning a language can have three stages/goals, which can but needn't all be reached:
- Goal 1: have enough vocab and grammar to say stuff and have your message be understood
- Goal 2: have the grammar and vocab to say grammatically correct sentences
- Goal 3: be able to do creative/academic writing (meaning: have the skill+vocab to vary writing style according to the text type)

Learning a new language is your YouTube subscriptions list looking like it belongs to a toddler from a foreign country.

Android app for German Learning
Do note * - it is means that I use apps only with apk/premium unlocker, bc for one reason or another, free version of the app is not usable/not so great.
And yes, I have duolingo as well - but we all had it at some point, so heh.
LingoDeer*:
great for picking up vocab;
better prononciation than in Duolingo;
though it is quite better for asian languages.
Chatterbug:
German videos;
German "shorts" like Youtubes/TikTok one;
Learngerman DW:
Basically cheating, bc we all love DW here, and if you don't - check it out, it is really great;
Easy German:
Learn german by reading newspaper articles!
Seedlang*:
Similar to an old duolingo with its tree, but quite lacking w/o premium.
LingQ*:
Read, listen, add your own sites/apps/videos for it to create a captions in German!
Create flashcards.
Readle:
Great app with a lot of short stories to test your reading skills;
little test at the end of each text to check if you understand what you have read;
Voice overs for every text!
Flashcards:
Better than Anki for me, since it is a lot easier to set up;
Avaliable voice overs for both sides of a flashcard.
Beelinguapp*:
App for reading!
Have a split screen and read 2 text (in your native & in German) at the same time;
Create flashcards~
