Does anyone use an actual good language learning app? I recently decided to learn again on transport instead of doomscrolling but Duo fucking sucks. Does not teach you concepts or even verb declinations. Its just "learn this new word" or "learn this new phrase but we're not telling you at first what they mean, you need to guess until you get it right". Feels like it will take 5x as long to get somewhat proficient than to whatever we did back in school learning French. The only positive are the short lessons and the dopamine inducing "good job"s and achievements and whatnot.

Anyone got recommendations?
