What is the alternative to Duolingo that has worked best for you? I’m especially interested in learning Japanese

    I can really recommend Wanikani, mainly focused on learning kanji.

    For grammar: the Genki books and online explanations like tokini Andi.

    Everything else is Anki.

    Yes this is a lot. I’m currently doing wanikani only because of time issues, but that’s what I found pretty effective for me. じゃね!

      I stopped doing lessons on wanikani after level 20 because I found while I learned a lot of kanji and vocab, many enlightened and burned words started to fade. Plus there’s many common words which you don’t learn even after a year of studying, even though you really should imo. So I switched to sentence mining with Anki and it’s been pretty good so far, although I don’t understand much, I hope that comes with time
