Bought the Lifetime subscription of both apps. Babbel (German) and Memrise (UK) are European language learning apps. They are working perfectly on my degoogled Fairphone 6 on /e/OS

I’m using Babbel, but I keep wondering: Why isn’t there an actual good app to learn languages?
Babbel is like: Here’s a ton of new words, cases and phrases and since you remembered a fraction of it in a simple multiple choice test, I’m gonna assume that you know all of it from now on. Good luck!
Sure, you can repeat stuff, but only in annoying and shitty ways. :(
Duolingo is like: learn the same fucking words for a year straight which you can never ever use in reallife because it makes no sense. 0 grammar explanation.just phrases over.and.over.
Dont let.others use duolingo with their ai sloooopppp
Duolingo used to be a fun app for a fist time contact with a new language. But learning progress is too slow and can not replace a more serious learning app such as Babbel.
But the worst part: they enshitificated Duolingo beyond limits (to make money) and killed the fun part.
Who enshitificated: Duolingo or babble?
Duolingo enshitificated its app. Sorry, my text was poorly worded. I’ve corrected it.
Thank you for the clarification!
Apps that use the actual learning process aren’t viewed as fun and users aren’t drawn to them as much, is my theory. App economy doesn’t care so much about teaching you a language as much as they care about keeping your attention.
You need more than a phone app to learn a language.
You can repeat your learned words and phrases in Babbel. Just do a listening/writing/speaking. or flashcard lesson.
