Still looking for a good replacement for Duolingo, currently considering paying for Rosetta Stone, anyone got experience with it?

This is interesting, had never heard of that business.

Hope we get some answers here. If not then maybe a post in this community would help to give it some more visibility!

Some I've tried/heard of (sorted by amount I've used them):

  • Language Transfer (Audio-based course in the format of a teacher-student conversation with explanation of concepts etc. Completely free but takes donations)
  • Clozemaster (Mostly fill in the right missing word, small challenges format)
  • Memrise (Memorizing common phrases, spoken by a cast of real people with distinct dialects etc.)
  • Mango (More feature-rich, similar to Duolingo but better IMO. Many libraries offer this, worth looking into)
  • Babbel (Barely touched this one but think it's similar to Duo)
  • Lingonaut (New thing, don't think it's live yet but I think it's focused around community-driven features that Duolingo cut out to replace with AI)
