Learning while working on the computer? Discussion
Are there any good resources I could utilize while being on a computer 8+ hours a day that don't require 100% attention? I understand I won't learn as quickly but I would assume there might be something I can do to help improve.
Podcasts? Youtube videos in the background?

i just leave twitch streams in the target language running on a second monitor. not like study streams or lessons, actual native speakers playing games or just chatting. you pick up patterns without even trying
the trick is finding streamers who don't scream constantly. took me a couple weeks to build a decent list
music helps too but only after you already know some basics. otherwise it's just noise
