How do you guys expand your vocabulary and get to actually talking and understanding your subject language?

I’ve been trying to learn Russian for a while now. I’ve completed the course on Duolingo, but found it to be extremely superficial, especially because of its philosophy of teaching by inference, which is really difficult to learn from in a language as grammaticaly complex and dependent as Russian is. I keep doing the daily exercises and all, but i'd be lying if I said i think I'm actually progressing in the language.

So here I am asking you guys what methods you use. I know that listening to music and watching content in the language is one way, but that’s not really feasible right now, as my Russian level is too low for that. It would only help me get acquainted with how native speakers talk. Also, I find this to be a very slow way of progressing.
