I'd just like to thank those of you who have boosted my post regarding the #Duolingo question. I seem to be making progress at this point, in spite of the quirks of the app. It would really be neat if they would include alt text on the images presented though. Voiceover lags it odd times as well; but overall, I think I'd give this app a three or four out of five. It's a bit clunky, but workable enough. Would be cool to see accessability improve though! #Blind #Screenreader #French #Learning #A11y #Technology #Language

Hi guys, I'm a totally #Blind woman interested in learning French to start with. In coming back to #Duolingo, I found that the first thing you have to do right off the bat is "choose the correct image". You can choose based on the audio you are hearing, absolutely, but you have no way of actually knowing what the so-called correct image actually is, making it pretty much impossible from an accessibility standpoint to know what words are being introduced and/or what they mean in English. Does anyone know of a good language learning app that is actually accessible? #A11y #technology #Language #French #Learning #Screenreader

Had a crack at getting the free tablet promised in the #Temu ads on #Duolingo. Load of crap; you still have to pay for several articles to get the free offer! They are lying after all, bugger it all.! Could've done with a tablet too. Meh!

I completed the April challenge faster than 93.7% of all learners on #Duolingo!
So, yay me 😆

Learnt a neat phrase this week though. 'Dw i wrth fy modd' meaning 'I am delighted', but it looks (to me at least) like 'I am beside myself' which is how I am remembering it.
