MichelleI have seen a lot of calls to cancel duolingo as they have fired all their employees and switched to AI. To make the switch easier for folks, please share your alternatives!I'm currently studying French, Mandarin, Spanish, Italian, and Ukrainian. Is there another app for that?

HelenAfter my request for help learning Cantonese, I've got stuck into Mango Languages. I don't think it will still be free for me after 2 weeks but it's a good length for a trial.My next question is, how does one go about practising tones? Is it mainly listening and recognising the tones that will later help me with speaking?I'm expecting it to take a long time but that's what I love about learning new things. <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Cantonese" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Cantonese</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Chinese" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Chinese</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/LanguageLearning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LanguageLearning</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Languages" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Languages</a>

Knitting dancer 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏳️‍⚧️This blog has stuck in my head since I read it a few weeks ago.<a href="https://storylearning.com/blog/youtube-polyglots-real-or-fake" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://storylearning.com/blog/youtube-polyglots-real-or-fake</a>I know many people who are fully bi, tri or multilingual, and I often feel embarrassed about my own language competence because I'm not.But I strongly feel that focusing on C2 competence misses the point.There is always value in learning another language, no matter what proficiency you actually attain. Only seeing C1/C2 as "worth it" is like saying only ultra-runners are runners. <a href="https://toot.wales/tags/LanguageLearning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LanguageLearning</a>

Ari [APz] Sovijärvi<a href="https://mastodon.ie/@richardtroupe" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@richardtroupe</a> The app is already just pointless grind at this point with Spanish and I can only see it going downhill from here.I'd love to have something that's like Duolingo from like 5 years ago.<a href="https://mstdn.games/tags/languagelearning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#languagelearning</a>

HelenGenuine question:How does one go about learning to speak Cantonese?I can find Mandarin resources all over the place but Cantonese resources seem to be libraries of dictionaries. My knowledge of the language (0%) means these aren't accessible to me yet. <a href="https://beige.party/tags/cantonese" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cantonese</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/LanguageLearning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LanguageLearning</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/languages" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#languages</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/UK" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#UK</a>

Ari [APz] Sovijärvi<a href="https://retro.pizza/@outofprintarchive" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@outofprintarchive</a> Now that I got thinking, I'm actually pretty bummed about <a href="https://mstdn.games/tags/duolingo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#duolingo</a> in general. What it has become is horrible, but even when it's gimmicky, the whole concept of small doses of language every day have contributed a lot to me learning 4th language in the past 5 or so years.I'll probably have to look into the alternatives and see if there was one that could teach something bit more useful than the random stuff Duolingo pushed us.<a href="https://mstdn.games/tags/languages" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#languages</a> <a href="https://mstdn.games/tags/languagelearning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#languagelearning</a>

Ryan M 🥄If you've been using Duolingo to learn German, Spanish, or French, give Seedlang a try.
