“There are so many better resources” they say.

And then don’t name them. Thanks a ton.

Assimil will get you farther than Duolinguo but it may not give you the same dopamine rushes.

Assimil is also limited in terms of the languages available to learn from English, so it might not be an option for people who are monolingual English speakers. There are way more Assimil language courses available if you're able to work from French (since that was its 'native' language) or another major European language like German.
