I know Anki is the most popular by far, but what else does everyone else use? I'm currently listening to a Mass Effect Legendary playthrough in German. I use https://yourdailygerman.com/ to learn grammar. And I made a custom app to help me learn vocabulary in a way I find a bit easier than Anki.

What does everyone else use?

For Japanese:

Genki I & II grammar textbooks (w/ corresponding TokiniAndy YouTube lectures)
Anki to drill the vocab
JPDB (less great at spaced repetition than Anki, but easier making cards plus it bridges Kanji)
Remembering the Kanji book for learning Kanji, w/ Kanji Kohii companion app
Tadoku graded readers and NHK Easy News for reading
Comprehensible input Youtube channels and podcasts

I've also used HelloTalk before to talk with native speakers (but only for Spanish so far). In the future tho I think italki (paid private tutoring) might be worth pursuing instead of language exchange.
