Variety enforces learning. The best way to spend an hour in your target language is to try new things and not stick to doing just one thing.

That's the most obscene answer I've read since the first day I started spending my hours posting here.

Watch a TV programme in the language, and if you're beginner or you can't understand it, then with the subtitles.

The TV programmes will teach you some different varieties of the language, dialects, posh people and not posh ones, also you can see the country's things for example how the people look like, and the places as well.

I have traveled - I was in for example Maastrciht, London, Cologne, Tunisia, Normandy , but I know about my neighbour countries because I've watched their TV (Netherlands, Flanders, Germany, Britain, France).

Thank you for the good advice, I have tried this before and I enjoy this method.

Spend fifteen minutes actively listening and shadowing a lesson/ podcast in your target language then spend the rest of the time daydreaming yourself into a situation where you need to speak what you just learnt.
