RIGHT DUOLINGO….

Because this is going to come up a lot in general conversations. 😂

getting blazed as fuck in public, thinking "boy I sure hope no one knows how high I am right now", and then having the jumpscare of your life when duolingo gives you this notification

With what's happened with Duolingo, I'm looking for a new language app, but need some help.

Is there a Japanese language app that is:

Great for people with learning disabilities (my brain struggles with language and has to learn it very slowly)

Kid friendly

Colorful

I've seen a bunch of posts with all these recommendations, but it's super overwhelming and I have no idea where to start.

i cannot keep quiet about this anymore.

if you're in the US or Canada and interested in learning a language using a free app please get a library card and download MANGO. it's very good and extremely free with a library card (there are many public libraries and universities using the service, so make an account and use the search feature here to find out if there's one near you).

mango currently has 72 available languages and dialects (that's right! different courses for french or canadian french! spanish or latam spanish!). it's set up basically like an audiobook with text. the idea is that the narrator explains the words while you read, and you repeat after them or say the translation out loud when prompted. there's a daily review where you go through flashcards. you can also use the flashcards at your leisure and create your own. at the end of each chapter there's a listening comprehension quiz and a reading comprehension quiz. i cannot emphasize how effective this all is. and it's free with a card.

if you're not in the US or Canada and/or looking for something more like duolingo (don't use duolingo btw tldr they fired translators and replaced them with "ai"), then try BUSUU! it only has 14 languages atm but the lessons are really descriptive and effective. it also has a feature where you can correct other people's open-ended speaking/typing exercises. you set your fluent languages, and exercises by people learning those languages will appear in your feed for you to correct. you can even add others as friends! and, much like duolingo, it has a streak and leaderboard system for you to strive for, minus the guilt-tripping owl.

busuu is free (you watch ads to unlock lessons and they're all skippable after like five seconds), although it also has paid premium/plus versions (i don't use the paid version—the language courses are available for free, and the ad system is Really unobtrusive).

so that's my wisdom for the day. mango and busuu. please check them out :)

love how it's seemingly a universal thing for qsmp members when something gets postponed or they don't have anything to do for a bit they're like "oh shit this is the time to do my duolingo"

Okay but, like, we all agree the girls from Duolingo are dating, right?

I mean... You can argue with the wall for all I care

wednesday joining duolingo to learn more languages, because she can, dammit, and quickly discovering that duolingo simply is not meant for her because she HATES losing. and enid has to literally pry her away from her laptop because wednesday is so adamant that she won't let jacob from canada beat her this week.
