My friend is looking for a resource to become fluent in French, he is forced to work with it. Asked to find a certain book, but it is not yet pirated on the resources of the wiki. My guess is that pirates have better alternatives for such a thing, so I'm launching a discussion.

I only ever heard about the book "Minna no Nihongo" in the context of learning Japanese.

EDIT: Thanks everybody.

Just use the AirLearn app. I'm learning Spanish on it. Pretty good. If you use an Android, there's also a premium APK mod for it.

Is it lessons written by real people or more ML bullshit?

“We do have a dedicated creative team & language professionals who prepare the lessons” according to AppStore review.

I use AirLearn over Duolingo which is trash when it comes to learning a language.

Excellent, thanks so much! Yeah Duolingo is trash now because it uses ML/LLM bullshit.

I think the whole premise of Duolingo that learning a language means translating to and from it is bonkers. I know multiple languages at various levels, and every time to speak I create my sentences in the target language directly. Translating is a totally different skill set
