Ok real talk, I want to learn Mandarin, but as many have pointed out in the past, Duolingo sucks. What has worked for me in the past is Pimsleur. Are they still good? Looks like you can't get the CDs anymore and have to subscribe and get the app.
I heard good things about Skritter to learn hanzi, I downloaded it but haven't used it yet. Will do it right now, in fact and report back in a few moments
Edit: tried it, it's pretty good but the vast majority of the content is paid and way too expensive in my currency. I think a subscription would be worth it if you have USD, though.
