I am American. I am trying to learn Lao for a planned trip in a few years. Knowing nothing about learning languages, I jumped on the first thing I could find, which was Duolingo.

Aside from the deserved hate of Duolingo, I also noticed that they don't offer a Lao program. After exploring further, I've come to notice that almost no western sources offer any Lao teaching.

Would anyone be able to share their tips and successes in learning foreign languages that aren't really accepted in the west?
