Does anybody have (good) experience with learning languages via self-study/online?

I've previously tried Duolingo but didn't really like it, and it's gamification. I could give it another try.

But I don't know if there are any other trustworthy online resources (I don't mind paying fees if it's trustworthy).

I've never been good with learning other languages, so I don't think picking up books will be enough, but it might be the way to go instead of online resources.

@alsvha i have been having a lot of success with https://www.lingq.com

it's not very gamified. no 'lessons' as such. you just get real text, read it with dictionary popup, review words if you want or just keep reading. start out with basic intro texts, but you can import any article, pdf, ebook, youtube video (if it has subtitles) - meaning you can read material that is of interest to you personally, not only arbitrary lesson text.

it has helped me anyway.
