I've been having better luck with Babbel lately since it actually teaches ya stuff rather than throwing vocabulary at ya. I've learned more grammar in 2 weeks of Babbel than an entire 10 months learning Dutch on duo

Good to know, also been learning Dutch and was hoping to make a switch

Prolly better apps out there (I'm naturally weary of anything like this that's advertised so heavily by sponsored YouTube channels), but so far I'm quite enjoying Babbel. I wish it had the option for like a kinda soft competitive thing like Duolingo had. Trying to work enough to stay at least in my current bracket, and rewarding the player for doing lessons in the morning and before bed, absolutely helped my autistic ADHD ass with sticking to the routine. Gotta maintain that streak, right?

I resist app addiction in all forms except Duo. Amen to that.

I did look at that and I wanted to try it out, but they don't even have a free trial, which is unfortunate. Part of the reason I used duolingo was because I am hoping to get the basics for free so I can see if I'm actually learning.
