Resource recommendation for this thread! https://runwes.com/2020/02/11/howilearnedfrench.html https://runwes.com/2020/02/11/howilearnedfrench.html Been working on my French for a few years (~B1) and found Wesley's approach to be a really nice framework. I'm not using it 100%, but in general a combo of Duo, podcasts, Italki/tutoring, and a cahier/workbook works wonders. Certainly enough to be able to wander into r/Quebec or r/France and follow conversations, collaborate with French coworkers (productively, but with errors), etc. Side note: IMO the old Duolingo tree was better, particularly if you already knew -how- to learn languages (even if you've never retained one). If you put in the raw hours and know what you're looking for, it does stick. New Duolingo...I think might work well for folks starting from the beginning. The changeover absolutely burned how I was using it, so while it was an important pillar early on, now it's much less so for me. Using desktop+keyboard, reading it aloud, etc. is a must.
