This is a more focused follow up to a question I had the other day about moving to other countries. I'm wondering what the best options are for learning a new language at the moment. I'm vaguely aware of companies like Duo-lingo losing their reputation lately and it's hard to trust the top google results nowadays with all the SEO junk. So does anyone have suggestions for trustworthy/useful sites for learning a new language? If it matters, in particular I'm interested in trying (In roughly this order) Vietnamese, Chinese, Japanese, or Spanish.

Language Transfer is pretty neat, though it doesn't have many languages.

Duolingo is easy and it does teach a lot of vocabulary, but never explains a single rule of grammar or conjugation or sentence construction.

Yep, it's pretty good for the two I've tried of the eight available.
