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

  • Busuu - they are from Spain but main hub is now in UK. Self-led language app in short lessons.

https://www.memrise.com/ is British

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.
