This Week I've Been Feeling Like Speaking French..

For the basics, it's better to begin with learning apps/softwares/books. It gives the theoretical side of a language and will help recognize sentences' structures. Then, when you begin to get the logic of said language (how it's structured, written, spoken), then you should really begin to read books (for the spelling, the grammar and the conjugation) and watch movies or listen to music (the sound of the language in order to speak and listen better) in said language.
About the music, I strongly advise NOT TO listen to french rap music because it's too filled with slang, verlan and strong hood accent.
"Verlan" is a special french slang which consists of inverting syllables in words and it's not really "translatable". You have to know the meaning. The "Verlan" word ("Wadzback") itself is the inverted form of "l'envers" ("backwards").
Example : Femme (french) = Me - Fem (inverted) = Meuf (verlan)

learning a new language multi-dimensionally takes years of dedicated study and at least temporary immersion in the language

"je voudrais" = i would want
"je veux" = I want

Not bad, not bad. Let me correct some grammar stuff.
Your paragraph should have been written this way :
J'ai commencé à parler français il y a un et demi. Je me trouve au Congo (actuellement) où la langue officielle est le français. Les anciens connards qui ont colonisé ce pays étaient des Français. Moi, je suis roumain. Je fais toujours beaucoup d'erreurs grammaticales mais je m'en fiche. Vous pouvez quand même aller tous vous faire foutre.
I began to speak french a year and a half ago. I'm (currently) in Congo where the official language is french. The former fukkers who colonized this country were french. I'm Romanian myself. I still make plenty of grammar mistakes but I don't care. Fukk you all though.
FIRST SENTENCE
J'ai commencé = Past tense, so the verb can't be in infintive mode
à = the accent is important because "a" without an accent is "to have" conjugated. With the accent it's an adverb.
français = the cedilla is needed otherwise, "c" before an "a", an "o" and a "u" is pronounced "kuh" instead of "suh".
année = "Année" (year), takes a final "e" after the "é". And second, even if the use of "année" is correct, we say "an" when talking about a timespan.
The overall sentence is good but not grammatically correct : We would have either said "Je parle français depuis un an (1) et demi (1/2)" or "J'ai commencé à parler français il y a un an et demi".
=> If you're talking about a starting point, one should use "il y a" which can translate as "ago" (I began to speak french a year an a half ago). If you're talking about a timespan, one should use "depuis" as "for" (I speak french for a year and a half)
SECOND SENTENCE
Où = you need the accent if you want to talk about a place. Otherwise you're talking about a choice ("or"). Thé ou café ? (Tea or coffee ?) Où allons-nous ? (Where are we going ?)
Officielle = "langue" is a feminine word, therefore the related adjective needs to be so also.
Est le français = "C'est" is only used in the beginning of a sentence or after a comma.
THIRD SENTENCE
Anciens connards = "Connard" has two "n" and is a masculine word, therefore the related adjective should also be masculine.
Colonisé = Accent !
Ce pays = "Pays" takes a "y" instead of a "i" and is a masculine word, the related pronoun should be masculine.
FOURTH SENTENCE
Je fais toujours beaucoup = I think you wanted to say, that you "still make a lot of a mistake", so "still" should be translated as "toujours" in this case.
Beaucoup d'erreurs = The final "e" in "Beaucoup de" disappears if the following noun begins by a vowel => "Beaucoup d' "
Grammaticales = "Erreurs" is in plural form

Want some help ?
No thank you. I might ask for a word or two, my French is on point as fukk for me to not have studied in about 6 years. It's making me moist pause.
