I understand that it's important to immerse yourself in Chinese with comprehensible input like reading articles, watching TV shows and movies, and listening to podcasts; but how do you get there?

As a complete beginner that knows how to say 2-3 sentences, how do we get to the point where it's possible to comprehend these sources?

edit: To expand on this, every advice resource i've seen on the internet has said: "forget textbooks, you need comprehensible input!" which I agree with, but how can you begin learning the language to the point at which this is possible?
