What’s the most OVERRATED language learning tip you’ve heard?

Everyone has their own tips for mastering a new language, but not all of them work for everyone.
For example, some people find it helpful to watch videos or listen to podcasts without subtitles and try to guess the meaning. That actually doesn’t work for me. I often get distracted halfway through, and by the end, I don’t understand anything.
