This is a more focused follow up to a question I had the other day about moving to other countries. I'm wondering what the best options are for learning a new language at the moment. I'm vaguely aware of companies like Duo-lingo losing their reputation lately and it's hard to trust the top google results nowadays with all the SEO junk. So does anyone have suggestions for trustworthy/useful sites for learning a new language? If it matters, in particular I'm interested in trying (In roughly this order) Vietnamese, Chinese, Japanese, or Spanish.

I found a personal tutor and I spend an hour with them every week (online). Outside of that I watch YouTube videos (with English subtitles) and practice with friends who I have who know the language too. I have tried Memrise, Duolingo and others in the past and I have made considerably more progress this way.

Basically: find someone who can actually make sure you’re getting something from it and find a good way to practice too
