• Is this wrong? If so, why?

  Russian word order is very flexible but not random; it's influenced by tone/register (formal? informal? Emotionally colored somehow?) and context (what's already been talked about, vs. new information). Unfortunately, there's no way that Duolingo's isolated sentences, with no hint of context or tone, can account for this. If you continue with Duolingo (I'd suggest you look at mangolanguages.com , which is free... Source: 10 months ago

• language learning apps

  Mango Languages might be good for them. Check with your library to see if you can get free access because it's free through many libraries. There's an app for it too. There's also Destinos for Spanish and NHK has a Japanese course. For ASL, there's ASL University. EdX and Alison have courses too, but they may be for an older audience. All of the ones I mentioned are free. Source: 11 months ago

• I feel like doulingo is lying to me

  In general, be ready for Russian to express things differently from English. Similarly, Как вас зовут? = What's your name? But как is not 'what,' вас is not 'your,' and зовут is not 'name' – the Russian is literally 'how you they call.' Whether Duolingo will explain those things is another matter... Mango languages does a better job of that IMO. Source: 12 months ago

• "Could you repeat that?"

  Mango Languages have this feature where you can align your own recording with that of a native. So no more a computer that judges you, you do it yourself. Just align the sounds and see if they sound the same when played at the same time. Source: about 1 year ago

• Advice on Homeschooling my Little Brother

  The school not having an ESL program for your cousin is a bit concerning but, there are ways to help him learn. You should check with the local library to see which resources they have available. My library gives access to Mango Languages and Transparent Language, which are pretty good for learning the basics of a new language quickly. I also found some websites here and here that may be helpful for him, and this... Source: about 1 year ago

• What is the best and easiest way to learn Dutch

  Give https://busuu.com/ a go, I think it does a much better way of explaining words and grammar than Duolingo. Good luck! Source: over 1 year ago

• Similar website as Lengalia for Italian?

  When I was starting out I used a subscription to Busuu and thought it was pretty good. They had listening exercises, vocab exercises, grammar/conjugation, and test exams. There's also a community feature where native speakers can correct some of the exercises you do (and vice versa). Source: over 1 year ago

• 30F Looking for a language partner to practice basic French. I can help with Portuguese (BR)

  I have been studying French for a few years (I still don't feel I would be very beneficial to you unfortunately, however) and a good place to look for language partners that I have found is busuu.com . A big section of it is connection to others learning your native language that speak your learning language. Just fyi if you want that info. (: Good luck!! Source: over 1 year ago

• Duolingo is overrated

  Then I've tried Busuu premium, which is considerably better than Duolingo - at the very least tries to teach you grammar, and the video contents are really well produced. For an absolute beginner it is great! Source: over 1 year ago

• article question

  I learn english at busuu.com. One of my lessons contain phrase "i had dinner" and also "i had pizza". I am confused. Dinner and pizza it is countable nouns. Should I use "a" article? Source: almost 2 years ago
