I’ve heard it said that an hour every day for most hobbies would be plenty, for language learning it’s just the start. Makes sense, most activities I do throughout the day use language, so for at least your first language you naturally practice all day.
Always gonna be a hard call when affordability enters the picture. I think courses are pretty fun and motivating so it sounds like a good opportunity. But you gotta do what works best for the situation.
It was like 10 euro an hour, which, I mean, if I really really really tried, I could make something work, but I think at least for the start of this course, it’ll help set me up for success, because I’ll be able to at least attempt speaking the language properly, getting the phonetics right, and that being important. Then the reading, and phonetics to readings and etc, and dialects, and understanding nuances of gender based grammar better (Duolingo is absolutely shit for explaining any of that), and well, just overall language attempt. This will be my first actual proper course I paid for, as I try to be self learned, but I guess for this language I’ve completely given up on finding decent sources, since everything good is still all over the place.
