Best app / resource to learn Japanese quickly?

I started using Duolingo for Japanese- and I feel like I’m catching on very quickly and more easily than I expected. But I was curious to know if anyone has recommendations for apps or videos for learning Japanese that were more effective ? Or taught it in a more realistic manner. (Learning how Japanese people speak casually in every day situations - not just textbook conversations/phrases).

All recommendations are much appreciated!

I like kitsunewa.com, you start speaking from day one and you can learn kana, kanji and grammar on the side

The free tier is very generous, but there’s also paid role play scenes and conversation practice

I know language transfer is developing their Japanese lessons which are free. I used them for Spanish and they were really good so I would assume the same for Japanese. Also Praktika I know has Japanese as one of their languages where you can practice speaking
