Not to mention that default on the app has you click words in the proper order instead of actually recalling them. It doesn't really teach the four skills as they would be applied in the real world at all. And the same with listening - it's a TTS, you don't actually practice listening to native speakers and understanding what's being said with comprehension questions, etc. I once said "blah" on the Spanish course and it was accepted as correct I've also had it accept background noise before too. The speaking leaves a lot to be desired, unless it's massively improved since I last tried it. The writing is awful as well, since it's just reverse translation, not actually responding to a prompt or natural conversation.
You don't learn to read texts and interpret them in the language. You learn to translate stuff from the target language to English that's not reading. The thing is, in most courses (the home-developed ones with stories might be exceptions), you don't practice those skills. > Also, that it has you practice reading, writing, saying, and listening. You already knew the language and just needed to revise, which is something I would argue DL does do good at, especially the web version. I would argue this is why it worked well for you.
I had learned Spanish a decade ago and completely forgotten it.
