Your education system is just going to be a bunch of different mobile apps with microtransactions in five years isn’t it
Also, recommend an app for practicing writing kanji, I got a stylus and everything
duolingo is good if you already know the language and need to refresh (source: my mom learning spanish on the site) but starting from scratch on it is awful. i hate the gamified aspects, but i guess thats the only way to get boomers to learn

The annoying thing about Duolingo is that it just exists to bully you into subscribing. The usefulness is tangential to haranguing you to pay them.
There is a subscription service in Duolingo? It’s totally free for me afaik
Alternatively, it’s not bad for learning the touristy version of a language where you mostly just need to be able to ask where the toilet is and how much the bill is.
It does so very little to teach you actual grammar though, so God help you if the person you’re talking to doesn’t respond with the exact stock phrase you were expecting.
this is very fair. it teaches you words and contexts, but not grammar, so you really need to just memorize stock phrases. not the worst if you’re spending a week in europe or something similar, but if you really need to converse with people for important topics, you should probably look elsewhere
