    I have found Duolingo much, much less useful for language learning than Language Transfer. The latter actually helps you learn to think in another language rather than memorize things (which is still useful, but not nearly as much).

    Short if total immersion, I have found nothing better than LT.

      Thanks, I will check it out:)

      From the first look: is this just audio or also written practices?

      The problem I have with finding an alternative is that most just offer some five to ten largest languages. Want to learn Spanish, French, Russian, or Chinese? There are hundreds of both free and paid services available. Want to learn Hungarian, Irish, or Finnish? It’s Duolingo and a scant handful of sites specific to that language.

      Dreaming Spanish, if you are trying to learn Spanish. I seriously think it is the future of language learning, bar none.
