I've learned little bits of the language over the years but I want to become fluent.

Any good free apps/sites?

Should I get a video game that's in the Spanish language and play it?

yeah, I picked it because I've played them a bit (it was rojo fuego) and I figured it being a kids game would be easier to understand the text if I ran into trouble

I don't talk very well in English, I have zero hope for a new language. ASL is the only one I think I could learn and do well at

You could also use Anki for vocab but its annoying and you have to do it every day.

Spanish seems pretty hard listening wise, anyone I hear speak it in public etc speaks at lightning speed and it's hard to pick anything out.

ASL is a very different type of language from those that Duolingo teaches. ASL has a huge visual component. You really are better with YouTube for that.

There used to be a show called Signing Time that was great for basic vocabulary, but I don't think it taught any syntax. It was intended for children. ASL has its own syntax and structure, which generally needs to be taught, at least for the basics.

Spanish syntax parallels English syntax for the most part (unlike, say, Japanese).

You will never get fluent until you actually live for a while in an area that speaks Spanish constantly.
