The biggest resource I've ever stumbled upon was discord servers for specific languages.

During the pandemic when everyone was trying to learn languages they were popping off. Like thousands would be in servers and you could just chat with people whenever you wanted. I would spend every minute commuting, cleaning, or any time I would've usually listened to podcasts bullshitting with random people and learning how to actually speak.

I've tried italki I've tried other platforms where it's bumble for language learning. They didn't even come close to how quickly I learned there. And you can't beat free.

I joined one for Spanish and French. I'm sure they exist for others.

Very interesting,can you post links to those servers? Was it also audio or mostly text based.what was the ratio of native speakers?
