I’ve been using Duolingo to casually learn French. I also used school method (setup classroom with one email id and enrolled using another) to avoid ads, limited hearts, and leaderboards.

However, Duolingo has started showing ads and limiting hearts since last month for me. I checked reddit and seems like they’ve been rolling out these changes since last 3 months or so.

So I’d like to know what are the alternatives available for Duolingo?

    I use the paid versions of all of the following: Duolingo, Clozemaster, Memrise, Mondly and LingQ. All are good. If I had to get rid of one, it would probably be Mondly as the sentences are sometimes incorrect, but Mondly has many, many languages, including Greek which I study.

    I can’t vouch necessarily for the free versions of any of these, as I understand that the ads can be annoying and/or content is super limited, depending.

    Another user gave an excellent list of seemingly free or low cost resources. I’ll also add that googling “free ____ language book PDF” usually produces some sort of book PDF as well. Not to mention using a library system to access free online ebooks to study.
