It’s a modern language with a country that speaks it as a primary language, but it’s not as well learned so I don’t really want to doxx myself. Duolingo is the only one that has more than a beginner’s level in this language. Beyond that I have to actually talk to people, like with italki. That’s going to be hard because I don’t even like talking on the language learning discord lol. I need to know it for my future plans, but that isn’t overcoming my desire to not talk to people.
Babel is my Duolingo replacement. The lessons are better, not AI, with more actual teaching than Duolingo. Definitely recommend. Keep and eye on stack social too, I got my lifetime subscription to all languages for $140.
I used Babel for a bit. The quality seems good. There’s little to no gamification, it feels like a digital version of a classic language learning textbook.
If you decide to purchase a lifetime subscription, it’s on sale every couple of months for 130-180 USD.

There’s no way it’ll have the language I’m learning any time soon lol. Duolingo is literally it besides traveling there and talking to locals
