Americans seem to hate change and endlessly try the same things expecting different results.
My Stockholm syndrome has worn off and I've been putting an hour a day into language learning since the war started.
I look forward to taking your advice and making some friends.
That's great to hear, both that the Stockholm has worn off and that you're learning languages.
what are you learning right now and which app are you using?
Duolingo used to be my go to, but not no more, I find it pretty exhausting, so I'm trying out different apps and recently got into drops, which I'm enjoying.
pretty simple layout, and not as much grammar, but good design, fun mechanics and I'm learning vocab fast.
if you have any questions about traveling, feel free to shoot them my way, I'm happy to answer what I can.
I'm learning Mandarin Chinese currently, and you're right that Duolingo can be almost pointlessly limited.
Duolingo can be a fun/gamified way to kick off learning, but different languages have very different levels of support. (Hindi is known to be wrong/misleading for one.)
I've shifted to using a mix of free courses on YouTube and other apps including HelloChinese and HSK 1.
Drops seems really interesting especially once grammar is down, great to drill vocab.
I may take you up on your generous offer for more advice later!
