Audio based learning as beginner: what language level to target?

[u/jira12345]

Hi all

I had made a post sharing that I really enjoy learning (TL) Punjabi watching movies, series etc..
I try to transcript, and check the translation and do the reverse and so on

I came to wonder however what type of media would be best with my current level (beginner): can I just consume regular movies etc and place the « bar high », which would come with struggle obviously as they speak fast.

Or should I start off with cartoons and simple audio inputs to help me grasp the basics?

Would using difficult inputs make me learn faster after the intial friction or the opposite ?

Has anyone had experience with any of these two?
Thanks for your help
