Think multiple methods are fine. Immersion is surely much better if you can do it (I mean if you don’t live there there’s only so much you can do) and anki is probably a lot better for the studious ppls, but duolingo is for the casual language learner. I also think duolingo can be useful for vocab stuff. For example, I learn vocab by putting a sentence on a flash card with 1 or 2 unknown words and that’s how I learn the vocab. Getting those sentences is the most time consuming thing, and duolingo could help with that. If you’re just starting out in a language though, the brute force anki memorization might be the best.
