After a recommendation in the previous discussion[1], I signed up for Busuu.
So far, I have a feeling that I'm learning more (and in a more structured way).
Wow thanks for the recommendation, loving it so far.
I'm not a fan of Duolingo because it seems to just try to teach you a bunch of random words and sentences. Not very fun or useful for retention. Also you have to go through each lesson in sequential order so it's not like you can skip the random lessons you don't care about.
I much prefer learning through conversation, like what the Pimsleur's method tries to emulate. Both more fun and more useful. Busuu so far seems to center more on practical real world conversation, which is exactly what I was looking for. I hope Duolingo goes towards the same route.
It’s slightly funny that the names comes from a Bantoid language, but they don’t offer any Bantoid languages besides a course of the name-giving Busuu language.
