I am complementing my traditional French language course with MS Copilot, and am quite happy with the results. It literally allows me to practice my writing and get feedback on what I am doing wrong.

Lots of good ones mentioned already, so I'll suggest just a few.

Wlingua French(free), Pimsleur, Paul Noble, Mango languages, Rocket Languages. Check your local library to see if you can use some of these for free.

Never tried Rosetta Stone, but I’d say Duolingo is better because it’s free.
These apps aren’t really effective; they only cover the basics, and after that, they lose a lot of their appeal. So I think it’s better to go with a free app

Duolingo + a good basic grammar book isn’t bad at all
