You need a base. TV without a basic understanding of how the language works isn't very helpful. I credit my breakthrough in Spanish to my decision to watch telenovelas every day, but that was after many years of motivation-draining (but grammatically valuable) Spanish classes.

To me that is the point: you need a firm base indeed. I just thought of this: instead of buying tv, watch some things at youtube (etc.): you can freeze the image, replay time and again, listen again, etc. That also allows you to watch the kind of topics you are most interested in !

Once you're past the beginner stage, you should watch a lot of TV. That's what I do to study English, and so far it seems to have worked.

Watching TV in your foreign languages helps additionally to get a better listening fluency in the foreign language adapted to the native language of people speaking on TV. But you have to study the languages anyway, because you need to learn the grammar, write and speak the language as well.
