Books are a thing for me probably because I'm used to textbooks when it came to learning Spanish in school, but now there are more resources online and stuff like that so it'll make things easier too.

What drew my attention here is "learning words and phrases" in a sort of derogatory manner. I'm not sure how you meant it to sound, but from my experience, learning words and phrases is kind of the bulk and core of language study. I mean, in any case there's more different words than rules that govern their use, not to mention that in any language new words are always getting created or borrowed (which, I guess, from this point of view, makes this a futile task, but such is life... or as people who don't know French say, "c'est la vie").
