Yeah, my cousin’s fiancé is from a rural town in the countryside, so I’m not expecting there to be hardly anyone there that speaks English. I feel like I really need to know how to speak the language

I used pimsleur cds from the library to learn the pronunciation, syllabic emphasis, and tonality/rhythm of languages. And that was very helpful.
As for learning tools, I still prefer assimil. Audio cds and book to work through reading and hearing and linking the two.
You'll still think in English and have to convert to the new language. But picking up an ear for what they are saying and practicing active pronunciation are the biggest hurdles.
