Lennart Hengstmengel<p>I am not happy with <a href="https://mastodon.nl/tags/duolingo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>duolingo</span></a> anymore. What is a good alternative to learn foreign languages? Looking for an app or website with short lessons like duolingo, but with better grammar explanation and more variation. <a href="https://mastodon.nl/tags/askFedi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>askFedi</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.nl/tags/language" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>language</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.nl/tags/learning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>learning</span></a></p>

Colin Cogle :verified:<p>I’m thinking about learning French for fun, and for vacations in Canada. I hear my girlfriend doing Duolingo (in German) next to me all the time. How is it?</p><p>Also, it sounds like it’s free and too good to be true. What’s the catch? Mandatory tracking, data mining and sales, forced advertising, or a freemium tier to do anything useful? If so, are there any platforms that are more privacy-respecting? (FOSS preferred.)</p><p>Yes, I’m sure I can get a paper book at the library and do okay, but I study better with something interactive. </p><p><a href="https://mastodon.colincogle.name/tags/Duolingo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Duolingo</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.colincogle.name/tags/FOSS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FOSS</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.colincogle.name/tags/OpenSource" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OpenSource</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.colincogle.name/tags/alternatives" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>alternatives</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.colincogle.name/tags/French" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>French</span></a></p>

Laurel Stvan<p>The overnight tornadoes are gone, but it’s been a windy, windy day in north Texas! I’ve been home focused on a bunch of work projects. But now it’s time to switch attention. It won’t be to the speech to Congress, however. Instead, I’m going to inch forward on <a href="https://vmst.io/tags/Duolingo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Duolingo</span></a>.</p>

talya (she/her) but even more queer💄🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈:jewish_anarchism:<p>this is your reminder to not use <a href="https://dybbuk.club/tags/duolingo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Duolingo</span></a> to learn a language.<br>not only was the method of translating sentences back and forth proven ineffective a long time ago, but they have been diluting their human workforce with AI for years now.<br>not only have they been removing useful features (community discussions) in favour of that shitty AI, but nowadays they fully ignore user feedback, meaning exercises with errors are allowed to proliferate.<br><br>all of that leads to certain courses *decreasing* in quality over time. their Yiddish course, for example, got significantly longer when coming out of beta, but the additional prompts were of lower quality, so the whole course was *better while in beta*. their Czech course contains actual errors that don't get corrected. and both mix various styles and registers and tell you absolutely nothing about that. (Yiddish used to tell you, now they don't. fun!)<br>oh and the Arabic course is fully nothing, just empty air that doesn't teach you mistakes because it doesn't teach you anything. but i don't think that's gotten worse over time, i think it was just always bad, but maybe someone can correct me.<br><br>nothing will ever rival a proper course with a proper teacher, but it's understandable that for some people that's not an option. but if you choose to use an app, just choose something other than Duolingo. look online, i'm sure you'll find some good recs. anything Language Jones vouches for is probably good. just don't use Duolingo.</p>

pocket full of hawthornes 💦<p>there's a rodrigo on <a href="https://connectified.com/tags/duolingo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>duolingo</span></a> who's studying english. more importantly, he's what's come between me and the no. 1 rank this week. he's also why i grimace at my phone sometimes, yelling, "I'M COMING FOR YOU, RODRIGO!"</p><p>but then i overtake him and magically all is right with the world.</p>
rednikki<p>Is Duolingo getting weird for anyone else? Yesterday it didn’t track the number of exercises I did, and it spoke sentences to me in German with American pronunciation (for example, the article “die” as the American “to cease living.”) The latter made it VERY difficult to complete listening exercises.<a href="https://toot.boston/tags/duolingo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>duolingo</span></a></p>
