Rosetta Stone is also US owned.

I pay for a family plan and share it with a bunch of people. Several are government workers and use it in addition to traditional training, so it is actually an important subscription.

It’s one of my last US subscriptions.

For ebooks, Kobo is a Canadian subsidiary of a Japanese company (Rakuten).

Edit:

Apparently Kobo does audiobooks as well, but not sure what the selection looks like.

Also, you can check out books from your library and read them on Kobo devices (probably - check out your local library).

I'll check out Kobo's audiobooks. My wife has been very into our library's audiobooks, though I'm not sure how that works.
