I made it my NYR this year to learn a second language and while I picked Russian at first I switched to Spanish for a few different reasons. I've been using Duolingo for about 6 months now but have gotten to the point (I'm around A2 if not very early B1 fluency) where I just don't find it very helpful on its own anymore and the new stuff I learn just doesn't stick to my mind as good anymore.
I'd like to start incorporating other resources into my learning (which was the plan from the start) but have no idea where to start. I've incorporated note writing as well as flashcards into my learning as of a couple months ago, as well as trying to hold basic Spanish conversations with other people, but this is only really effective for perfecting what I've already studied.
To anyone who learned Spanish or really any language, do you know of any other resources for learning the language?
Gracias.
Yeah, Anki is super powerful, but that power is locked behind the learning curve. There are great YouTube channels to learn it such as The Anking. The new FSRS algorithm is based on sophisticated maths and is industry-leading in maximizing retention while minimizing the amount of reviewing you need to do per-day (see here for more info).
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
