Thanks, I might check it out while I still have a subscription. Russian is a language I want to learn also.

Ehhh… I wouldn’t say I’m fluent, that’s for sure. I can grasp simple conversations, and I would say I can discuss things via text pretty okay, but outside of some, say business specific vocab, I wouldn’t even put my level of fluency at that of a high schooler. Their speaking detection errs so far on the side of “just accept anything”, that most speaking portions I get about 3 words out out of the entire sentence and it auto accepts the entire thing. So my vocal fluency is absolute trash, my tones are miserable, and other than my wife, most Chinese people can’t understand me for shit lmao.

I’d recommend against it for Chinese entirely, honestly. I only pushed on because it seemed okay when I started and I paid for a full year, so I figured I might as well use as much of what I paid for as I can. Now I think I’m going to hire a private online tutor because there’s no formal Chinese education near me since the Confucius institute closed, and have them really drill my tones and teach me more complex subjects like poetry and geopolitics.

Very nice!
