I'm currently starting to learn Spanish via mostly app for now, but probably online tuition when I get some base knowledge down. Pretty useful for the Balaerics next year
Which App? I’ve been slowly learning español on duolingo... started before the quarantine and now barely have time to keep up

I was doing Swedish on Duolingo and got to something like 98 day streak... then didn't realise how late it was and lost it. All motivation evaporated. I still feel bad and maybe I'll get back to it but...
I'm on Duolingo too. Just finished the second checkpoint bit today.
It's true with the streaks, I actually deliberately took a day off and lost the streak so that I don't have a massive dump in motivation levels when it drops.
Another fun one is Anki- a flashcard app. It's great for learning/memorising all sorts of things. Currently I have nearly perfect knowledge of all counties in the UK by map location and my periodic table is 90% there by number, symbol and name.
I started a massive general geography one, but it became a bit overwhelming in level of content so I might come back to that now the others are becoming more solid.
