And the product now is traaaash.
I used to use duolingo to learn every language whenever I visited a country, and I can't use it at all anymore.
As someone who is a current user and unaware of superior options but is curious, what would you recommend?
I likes busuu a lot, felt a lot like old Duolingo, but with more relevant lessons. Duo can introduce potentially unhelpful vocabulary and grammar very early on, and now with the crown system every lesson just feels like pedantic repetition, busuu is fun, properly leveled, and has native speakers, with the Chinese course at least.
I'd be curious to hear which language you try and how it turns out for you since I've only done Chinese so far.
Never heard of busuu before, but tried it now and am enjoying it a lot. Thank you!
It's also worth giving a shout-out to LibreLingo, which aims to be an open source version of Duolingo. For now it's only Spanish though, and as I'm not interested in learning Spanish at the moment I haven't gotten any real use out of it.
Oh awesome, I appreciate the rec, I'll check it out. Thanks!
