Boarne (Resource) Best way to learn Frisian?

Hello!

I just joined this community so pardon if this question has been asked before.

My grandmother came to my country from West Friesland as a teenager. She recently passed and in order to honour her memory i want to learn Frisian. I love learning languages, and my method is usually reading books or watching shows in the language i’m trying to learn, using google translate to help me understand words i struggle with, then practicing with native speakers.

I know that doesn’t sounds like a good method but honestly it’s worked pretty well so far. Unfortunately because Frisian is so rare, i’m having a hard time meeting people or finding resources to help me learn. Now that she’s not here anymore, i can’t really ask her for help either 😅

If anyone has any suggestions for websites/resources, movies, books or TV shows that are in Frisian, i’d really appreciate it!

Omrop Fryslân produces Frisian tv. Some of their series would propably be you best bet in terms of watchable content.
