I've always been interested in languages and over the years I've tried many. Apps certainly help but I find nothing sticks. I can easily read words of the language in front of me. But I can't think of example sentences on my own. For French I was amazed at how much of it is condensed. Like English some people jokingly may say "jeet" for "did you eat". In French there are a surprisingly large amount of examples like that.
