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?

    Harry Potter. If you’re already familiar with the books, and have some basic knowledge of the language you try to learn, it’s very easy to read with a lot of spoken language. Once you’ve mastered the words for owl and broom, it’s very easy.

    There are problems there, too, with giving money to a transphobe. I’ll leave this open to your personal ethics.

    There might be other similar choices. But HP is really a good choice due to its simplicity and its familiarity.
