Can this work as a good exercise for learning another language?

I can speak a great deal of German but I want to get to where it feels more natural to me. What I decided to do was go on every website i frequent and change the language to German. Also, if a movie has the option to be played in German i will watch it as such. I do this to hopefully get me to actually think in the language. Could this work or am I going about it the wrong way?

    It will help, but what makes it more natural is practicing OUTPUT, not necessarily more input.

    Practice SPEAKING the language.

So, if a character does not fairly care, however is *compelled* to gain knowledge of a language in tuition, they are as a rule going to have a tough time. But if they are interested and languages and wish to gain knowledge of, they're going to simply exceptional. I'd be skeptical at some point whilst speakme to that loved ones member approximately ADHD.
