I bought another exercise book. Time to ruin it with notes and never look at the notes again after finishing the exercises!

Hmm. One small update, was doing it slowly so maybe why I hadn't seen it yet, but it seems the user can do only 5 lessons every 24 hours as a free user. If you're quick on doing lessons and don't intend on paying, it might prove problematic.

That's useful info. I personally am fine with that but some friends are doing more than that sometimes.

Although if the service is worth it I'll gladly pay. Guess I can say for sure how I like it once I try.

Unrelated to Airlearn, but was testing Drops and OkyDoky thanks to a friend's recommendation. In the free lessons I could take, Drops felt more "gamefied" and with focus on assossiation of vocabulary and sound , while OkyDoky seems more focused on explaining grammar and syntax.

that looks interesting, it seems drops is meant for someone who already knows grammar (based on a bit of looking up). I should check this out since I really like repetitive practice that is gamefied. Thanks for the tip!
