  Why not Anki? Ankidroid works well and there are many great community decks for all kinds of languages (and other topics too BTW).

    I’m not great with ONLY flashcards so I personally feed my brain a variety. Anki is great from what I’ve heard

      I started out with memrise, as it was very accessible and I wanted to start learning Japanese. It was fun but it’s also very limiting. A mixture of Smouldering Durtles, Human Japanese and Ankidroid really accelerated things. And then the ginormous post-covid upswing in my industry came, with less colleagues than before and my brain got fried. Still trying to recover from that with therapy and whatnot. Yeah, I lost a lot of progress that way.

      Any who, that was specific to learning Japanese. Wishing you success with your endeavors! Learning other languages is a huge Eye-opener for understanding other cultures better.

    I’ve tried AnkiDroid but couldn’t really figure out how to use it. I downloaded the Spanish 5000 one which seems cool tho.

  I can also recommend Pimsleur. A bit more expensive, but features more traditional style courses, while offering a lot of what Duolingo has. Plus actual topics with grammar, not just random words!
