How badly they want to show me ads, it's impressive. Desperate ain't sexy guys
Anyone have a good Duolingo alternative?
Mango Languages is available for free through many libraries and has an app.
At this point I'm thinking I'll just take a trip to Tenerife to continue learning Spanish.
Other apps aren't good at gamification I hear - and that was the only thing that kept me using it till a while ago. I have ADHD. The leveling up, streaks, etc, is what kept me going when the novelty of learning yet another foreign language wore off - I already had to learn two in school and I only ever really use one of them, you can guess which one.
Busuu is a lot like Duolingo but you also get to trade corrections with real people learning your native language
Yes I love Busuu! I switched about a years ago and I feel like it's actually been teaching me Dutch instead of just brute force vocabulary memorization.
My only complaint is that it's really aggressive about asking for you to subscribe. I just close the popups and I haven't ran into anything that I cant do.
I remember a while back, I was too busy for a little while to use Duo and came back to the widget trying to guilt trip me into using it. Because I missed like half a week. It's so toxic and honestly isn't even that useful for learning. So I uninstalled that shit immediately.
I can ask for an apple in so many languages.
Same, it was sad but I'm not gonna use the all anymore due to that decision.
Has anyone actually learned any language with duo lingo ?
I learned probably 90% of my Spanish through Duolingo. My reading is good enough that I can usually follow along with Spanish news articles and Spanish spoken at a moderate pace. (So almost none of it, haha) I have hearing comprehension problems with English as well though, so that’s not Duolingo’s fault.
I’m definitely not fluent, but it’s not like I wouldn’t know what to do if someone handed me a form in Spanish, either.
Overall it’s just the repetition that matters. I don’t think I would know any less Spanish if I’d spent 20-30 minutes every day for the past 2+ years using a different app to learn.
I'd be surprised if anyone has. You need to actually use a language to learn it properly. But an app is a good start and supplement.
shit's got 80 million ads now. get fucked, ICE owl
Exactly why I stopped so using it so quickly.
No mas
I had a streak in the triple digits, just un-installed it. I'll be damned if I'm going to use that AI slop anymore.
