I think it is quite possible to learn a language without really studying it, and above all, with a lot of fun.
Here is a personal example: After school, I was lucky to find a passion (IT and Development). So, I could spend hours and hours without realizing it to read on this subject. And as the best information was in English, I read a lot in English. At first, I needed a dictionary, it was rather laborious, but the desire to learn more about my passion made up for the inconvenience. Then one day I realized that I was reading English without any effort. Yet I had no time to feel like studying, and I was never bored, on the contrary. Now that I am in contact with many people who have learned one or more languages successfully, I realize that their common point is often a passion that has helped them to learn languages.

If it is a chore, or if you do not see the point, you will be very likely to give up... Find an activity of interest allows you to practice a language effortlessly.

Look for sites, blogs or forums based on your passion.

Nothing more simple, just to know the various words related to your passion and to use those keywords to target results. For example, if you want to learn English and you are passionate about video games, you can search in google the following keywords:
- video games blog: blogs are often written by enthusiasts who have regular articles
- video games forum: Forums are places of exchange and sharing, where everyone can write messages and ask questions. I advise you to first read a bit to know the rules (for example, it is best not to ask a question that has been asked 50 times). But do not wait to participate by writing messages. If you explain that you are not natives, people will be understanding with respect to you errors.

Use an online dictionary

At the beginning, you might find a lot of words you do not understand. Do not try to translate everything. It does not matter if you do not understand everything. But if you regularly encounters a word that you do not manage to guess the meaning with the context, uses the dictionary.
The idea is to make a habit of going regularly on these sites and you will see that little by little, you will be more comfortable to read or write. Please note your difficulties regularly (ex. I can read a 500 word article in 10 minutes) and like this you will be able to measure your progress, it is important for motivation.
