If you want to learn a language please give Michel Thomas a try. He is amazing. I would not speak a word of Spanish without his help.
Unlike any other way I’ve found, his method teaches you to form sentences and grammar from the first lesson. If you line to figure out ‘how things work’ which I would guess would be a lot of you guys, it might fit into your way of thinking nicely.
I tried so many language learning apps and audio - and was really bad at languages at school but found his lessons just perfect.
Bonus 1: the BBC made a documentary about him where he teaches the worst pupils at a school French in 2 weeks.
Bonus 2: he was a Nazi hunter in the French resistance.
Bonus 3: he taught Doris day Spanish (Que Será, será)
Bonus 4: despite the lessons seeming like they’ve been planned out, he recorded them in one take towards the end of his life. He refused to let anyone know his ‘method’ before that, having too many trust issues post WW2

Note - just like duolingo or anything else, this is just a foot in the door (but a really BIG foot). You’ll have to go speak to people in Spanish if you want to be able to speak for real.
