Listening to your target language before bed or when falling asleep can help open not only your ears, but your mind, to your target language. And, specifically, the subconscious mind. This becomes even more important if you’re not surrounded by native speakers in your day-to-day life. You need to soak up a lot of input.
Before bed, listen to audio you can understand, such as a story or a piece of music, but also play with higher level stuff that you can’t quite understand yet. As long as the voice is soothing and the audio quality is good, you can drift away while absorbing the nuances of your target language.
I have even found that on YouTube, some language learning channels have made “language for sleep” videos that will last the whole night. Intriguingly, some may combine the audio with deep sleep wave music as well.
I wouldn’t argue that one could learn a language this way, but as one hack among many, why not give it a try?
