Hello,
A few alternatives to Duolingo (which hasn’t been that good for a while now)
So here are some tips
- Drops app - Originally from Estonia, now a Kahoot! company which is from Norway. In few minutes a day for unpaid version it builds your vocabulary and you can also search by the topic. They offer wide range of languages. They also support Ukraine.

- Babbel - Most widely known subscription-based app where you learn with language professionals. Origin in Germany.

- Preply - Tutoring platform focused on languages originating in Ukraine. It is like a marketplace where tutors offer their language services and you can book tutor for language you want to learn.

- Lingoda - German online language school

https://www.memrise.com/ is British
Feel free to share more if you have them and/or your experience with the ones above
Hands down the best free Greek course I ever came across, can’t recommend it enough for anyone interested in Greek.
I’ve been learning Spanish, and it’s hands down the best language course of any kind I’ve ever used, and I already speak five languages.
Completely free (funded by donations, I’ve been donating $5 a month for several years now) and you can use it on YouTube, SoundCloud, or the excellent smartphone app.
Thanks Blaze I needed this thread!
I’m just posting here to write: Thank you! I saved your post and upvoted it. This is gold!
of these memrise seems the best to me. no fancy animation, you have to wait for (unlike drops), it works well in browser, and gives you a lot of freedom.
plus has the least awful/annoying free trial of all :)) (i ignored all, that wanted my credit card first.)
i do second the notion, that flashcards really do not need to be a subscription model, anki for example is great, there are a lot more apps like it, flashcards can be realised as a simple python script even!
really anything aside of vocab repetion is what makes these services worth it. and i guess i like the conversations feature memrise offers. (i played around with one of the big languages. i’m sure the ai features are clunkier with less popular langs?
babble of course is amazing. really anything that pairs you with natives is s-tier.
Any VHS in Germany. They do online courses that include an app that you can keep using after the course has finished. The VHS in Neukölln is particularly good.
But who owns a VHS these days? I’llseemyself^out
I guess I set myself up for that one.
Busuu should be removed they are owned by chegg
On it!
Annoying that I just paid for a year of Duolingo before this whole Trump thing came to be, but after it expires I will for sure be moving to Babbel
Clozemaster is worth listing too https://www.clozemaster.com/l/fin-eng
Nemo, Ling, LingQ (no relation)& Plimseur are other options.
I’m pretty sure Mango Languages goes here. https://mangolanguages.com/
