Which learning programs are actually effective?

I should start by saying I’m learning Korean from a beginner level and freshening up my Spanish to be fluent.

I’ve been trying many apps and reading a couple books as my main source of learning for a little while now. I’m wondering if this path is sufficient, or if I should invest in a membership to something like the Rosetta Stone, Jumpspeak, or any other recommended program that teaches by immersion.

Maybe I need more of a strict studying schedule that prioritizes what I need to learn in order to retain and feel improvement. Although, I’m not sure what this should look like. How much time a day is too little/too much to see growth? Which type of learning is best to practice first (grammar, vocabulary, etc)?

Essentially I’m not sure whether to put my faith in a long term membership program that ideally knows how to teach effectively or if I should leave matters to my own hands and try to craft a personal learning method.

I’d love to hear what has worked for others and if experiences with Rosetta Stone (or other) have proved to be beneficial to your language learning.
