For traveling, I like to be able to order off the menu in the native language. I got sick of #Duolingo's gamification and tried #Pimsleur for French. That's what I'd use if I were spending significant time there: Pimsleur is hard but no nonsense. I'm now on #Babbel but it's even easier than Duolingo and doesn't feel like I'm advancing at all. I might go back to Duolingo and submit to the gamification. Thoughts?
