Tried the big apps. This felt different, in a good way. The power phrases clicked, and the super literal translations made those endings finally make sense. The interface looks a bit dated, but I don’t care, because I caught myself answering a question in Russian without panicking. The audio drills on my commute are addictive. I’m weirdly proud of ordering coffee now. Price stung at first, but with lifetime access I stopped thinking about it.
