LOL, my roommate has the same "logic". She was trying to get me to buy Hello Fresh boxes, and when I told her it was too expensive she said "Its the same price as regular groceries, you just get less servings."

The same language, but I only did about 15 minutes a day. I am more the "pick away at it a little bit" than an "immerse your entire life in it" kind of learner. I learned a lot, and can have basic conversations at this point, but I still have a long way to go and will continue using some kind of language app going forward. I watch media too which helps. Apps are just one tool of many.
I think it depends on your learning style. Duolingo was fantastic for me and taught me enough that for the first time in my life I was able to dip my toe in native content and actually understand what was going on.
As it should be.
Canada needs this too. Frankly, every country in the world needs their own version of this. It is baffling to me that people were ever okay with putting something this important into the hands of another country.
I had a streak of over 1200 days, and after years of reduction in quality and them constantly making the ad based version harder and harder to use, I finally left. AI was the last straw.
I have my eyes on Lingonaut, an app still in beta, and being created by volunteers for free to recreate the early days of Duolingo.
I'm giving away my age, but Benny & Joon. A story about two mentally ill people falling in love, and the script isn't even that great, but all the actors really sell it and it is such a quirky heart warming and funny movie.
Love it.
That powder is salt and will not sterilize the water. Used distilled water.
I need one...
