I'm looking to learn a new language without relying on data harvesting apps. Is there a privacy friendly platform I can use, or a FOSS app (android)?

Thank you. Feel a bit stupid for not thinking of this. Don't suppose you have a recommendation for a book on learning Spanish?

Go to your local college or university bookstore, see what they're using, then go and find it cheaper somewhere else.

you can't learn how to pronounce correctly through a textbook. You need hispanophone connections, environments withWhom/where you can't speak english

Not really, my only period of interaction with the language started and ended in high school. I'm sure you'll find tonnes of recommendations in language-learning communities on the internet though.

My partner is quite a fan of the Ollie Richards story learning books. I think they have a couple of those for Spanish.
