My partner is doing a “cocktail” of Duolingo, Memrise, and a grammar textbook for French. They are progressing a lot in just a month (and given the early learning curve from the grammar, I’ve found it good)

I think that these language tools work best when you have a mixture, because they can complement each other and keep on feeding into the novelty factor.

(In particular Memrise and Duolingo operate on different sort of teaching strategies so just those two together is really interesting)
