Is Babbel a good way to learn a language? (piefed.world)

I thought Duolingo was great before it enshitified. I genuinely learned more from Duolingo than from any other method. Will Babbel fill that Duolingo-sized hole? I want to learn Spanish to rizz goth latinas. Also because it's a beautiful language. I also live in an area with lots of people who speak it as a first language and I'd like to be able to communicate better. Thank you!

Babbel is a lot better than Duolingo.

I found that Duolingo just gives you phrases to repeat and memorize but Babbel actually teaches you the rules of the language and is structured more like real lessons. Definitely worth the switch.
