      Babel is my Duolingo replacement. The lessons are better, not AI, with more actual teaching than Duolingo. I’m learning things Duolingo glazed over or didn’t fully explain most lessons. Definitely recommend. Keep and eye on stack social too, I got my lifetime subscription to all languages for $140.

      My wife is fluent in the language I’m learning and noted my improvement in 2 weeks of using babel. Granted I’m still an A1 but that’s a complement I’ll gladly accept.

      I used Babel for a bit. The quality seems good. There’s little to no gamification, it feels like a digital version of a classic language learning textbook. They offer around 12-13 languages up to level B2. If you decide to purchase a lifetime subscription, it’s on sale every couple of months for 130-180 USD.
