(spoken language, not a programming language) Vocabulary seems to be solved with spaced repetition (anki, super-memo), motivation through gameification (duolingo). But this all feels rather primitive still. What I miss: a chat bot adjusted to your level moving between tools or at least proper spaced repetition in duolingo proven to be good, live online courses that replace going to a class (this might exist, haven't found it). systematically matching tandem partners (maybe you can be the native speaker for someone and have a native speaker in the desired language chat with you in return) good bodies of vokab with audio, sorted most to least frequent, importable to my spaced repetition software of choice anything else existing that I missed?
