• 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

• Anyone Studied in Italy?

  So I started off with Peppa Pig haha because it was very basic - on netflix it was available in Italian, I'm not sure if it is anymore but then I moved on to things I knew super well like Friends and now try and watch Italian reality TV to get used to how people actually speak to each other. So for grammar I would look up stuff on Italianpod101.com I found they explained everything really well, I practice... Source: about 1 year ago

• Now Duolingo has self sabotaged with the new path, what alternatives are language learners considering?

  I'm fine with the new path since I was at the end of the Polish course and it was exhausting, especially since it is a poorly constructed course, which they had started re-writing a few years ago but never finished. I can see why many people dislike the new path. I use clozemaster.com for free for a great way to work on conversational language grammar. It has Mandarin, Cantonese, and Traditional Mandarin. I...

• Any advice on how to effectively use Glossika?

  The same thing for less money and more fun would be Clozemaster but you're not getting a native speaker if you go that route. Source: over 1 year ago

• What is the best way to learn Spanish as an adult?

  1.) Duolingo helps me in just starting a new language. It's good for an introduction to simple vocab and simple grammar but should not be relied on for more complex conversations. I also love using Clozemaster to practice vocab with their matching games and I believe their vocab/phrases are more immediately useful than Duolingo. Source: over 1 year ago
