Getting started

Ive been on and off trying to learn Italian but nothing ever stuck with me. I dont really know where to start or what resources to use and options are a bit limited since im 16 and dont have any money to just go get a tutor or buy books.

I was looking at apps but i dont know what to use. im worried about being taught the wrong info or it being filled with AI slop.

Are there any suggestions on getting started and having info stick. Id appreciate it.
