Is Rosetta Stone good?

Title. I started with duolingo for about a month to decide if I even wanted to learn the language and at this point I’m in love with the language. In trying to learn more, I figured Duolingo wasn’t really the best permanent solution but I am open to suggestions.

  1. I tried rosetta stone for a while as well as duolingo, when I eventually switched over to the beginner books of Tobira some stuff transferred over well but I definitely did not learn hardly anything until picking up these textbooks. That’s just me though, you may have a different outcome.

    Btw I personally love the Tobira Beginning Japanese books as an alternative to Genki.

  2. Busuu is an alternative that I find really useful. Pricey though. If you didn’t know btw you can get Rosetta stone for free as long as you have library card

  3. I did not like Rosetta Stone. There is no explanation of grammar. The differences between Japanese and English are so great you will need an explanation.
