I’m open to the suggestion of textbooks but I find it really intense just focusing on it or my interest goes down eventually, maybe textbooks with a combo of something else too, any suggestions?

Comprehensible input! Start with simple content in that language you’re trying to learn, without any use of languages you understand. And then try and actively understand what you’re hearing, and work out how it all fits together!
It might be best to start with some basic grammar, phonetics, and vocab, especially with some languages, but comprehensible input is really the only right answer here.
It does take some dedicated study to get to a point where you can start to comprehend even the most basic content. If you just start reading/listening from zero, none of it will be comprehensible.
The goal for comprehensible input should be i+1, meaning you understand almost all of a sentence but one word or grammar point, which then allows you to work out the missing piece from context.
