What has been your favorite book, app, or other tool for learning a new language (or practicing one you already know)? I do enjoy Duolingo and Memerise, I think Earworms has been my favorite though. It's an audio series of phrases in your target language repeated and set to music.
Of the programs I have tried, I like Rosetta Stone the best.
My favorite for learning languages is the Berlitz method. Once you get through all the lessons, you just have to immerse yourself in the target language and it takes just a while to get some fluency.
I should also give the Clozemaster app an honorable mention. It's great for practicing translating sentences into and from whichever language you're learning. The fun thing about Clozemaster is the number of languages and language parings available (for instance it lets me practice translating Spanish to Brazilian Portuguese, or vice versa).

Posted by JettyI wonder if this works in any other language, though, in Chinese, for example.
Posted by JettyWait! You don't pronounce the L?! 😂
Posted by David_CooperI've often seen these in English, but doubtless the rest of the world does them too.
