Alternative to Duolingo?
  • You can try a combination of different resources. don't do too many at one time, 1-3 is enough, depending on your interest and learning style and schedule.

    I would exhaust the free and cheap resources first, like Tv5monde, CI stuff, language transfer and some basic grammar. Use ANKI or whatever other flashcard app to go through 1k high frequency words to build up vocab.

    Get yourself up to being able to read your first book and listen to your first podcast (innerfrench). After that, you can focus a lot on practice by consuming content.

    Remember the goal is to start using/practicing the language not duolingo/grammar/anki the language but USE the language which is read/write/listen/speak. :-

    What are your favorite anki decks, and which language?
  • I tried several deck but the one I completed was the Refold Deck for French. It is a paid deck.

    Now I am going through a "5000 most frequently used French words" mainly just to test myself. It is super easy since I am now about A2 level but I still encounter new words. This deck has a speak section which I will be practicing with soon.

    Other than that I mostly sentence mine from books I am reading to create new sentence cards.

    For words/structure that I have difficulty with, I search them on Reverso Context and grab even more sentences from there.

    To add, If you are going to use Refold Deck, note that It does not have super high frequency words like "I, you , he, she, they, am" . Reason being, you would acquire them just from other learning method, grammar, graded books, apps and etc.

    For cards that I create myself, I use **Ankimorph/Freqman **add-on to sort my cards according to frequency. Freqman is easier to setup but I like Ankimoprh various options. I use HyperTTS to create the Audio.

    I also use the** FSRS Helper** add-on, which helps me with postponing cards, reschedule cards, and flatten future due cards.
