Duolingo Alternatives by Language

Disclaimer: I haven't used or tested all of them. All resources have different strengths, e.g. Drops being designed for vocabulary. They often aren't full alternatives for Duolingo or formal classes. I just wanted to compile resources for all languages on Duolingo to make the switch easier, especially for the less popular languages.

Feel free to also check out my collection of free textbooks

If you want a more detailed resource list for any of these languages (or perhaps one not listed here) you can send me an ask and I can see what I can do.

I haven't slept and I'm filled with rage. I hate that stupid green owl. Heres some resources for beginner language learners

1. Install anki. It's a flash card program that uses spaced repetition. Essentially, it optimizes study by showing cards you struggle with more frequently while showing easy cards less frequently. It's amazing for learning vocab. It's web and computer versions are free, the iphone version costs 25$ but there are alternatives. There is also an android version made by a 3rd party thats free.

2. Find a deck. There are plenty of free shared decks on ankiweb. Ive also heard good things about Xefjord's Complete Language Series which features over 100 different languages. Refolds premium decks cost money, but they are high quality. It can take time to find a deck that works best for you and I highly reccomend switching to a deck that you made yourself eventually. I highly encourage picking a deck with native audio if you can.

3. Grammar. Here is a collection of resources for a variety of languages. Here is another one that has more on linguistics.

4. Misc resources.

this is a site that let's you listen to radio stations around the world

this let's you make anki cards from TV and movies in your target language

this is a list of easy to comprehend materials in various languages

There's tons of great language specific resources out there you just have to find them. Here's one specifically for Japanese learners.

Duolingo Sucks, Now What?: A Guide

Now that the quality of Duolingo has fallen (even more) due to AI and people are more willing to make the jump here are just some alternative apps and what languages they have:

"I just want an identical experience to DL"

Busuu (Languages: Spanish, Japanese, French, English, German, Dutch, Italian, Portuguese, Chinese, Polish, Turkish, Russian, Arabic, Korean)

"I want a good audio-based app"

Language Transfer (Languages: French, Swahili, Italian, Greek, German, Turkish, Arabic, Spanish, English for Spanish Speakers)

"I want a good audio-based app and money's no object"

Pimsleur (Literally so many languages)

Glossika (Also a lot of languages, but minority languages are free)

*anecdote: I borrowed my brother's Japanese Pimsleur CD as a kid and I still remember how to say the weather is nice over a decade later. You can find the CDs at libraries and "other" places I'm sure.

"I have a pretty neat library card"

Mango (Languages: So many and the endangered/Indigenous courses are free even if you don't have a library that has a partnership with Mango)

"I want SRS flashcards and have an android"

AnkiDroid: (Theoretically all languages, pre-made decks can be found easily)

"I want SRS flashcards and I have an iphone"

AnkiApp: It's almost as good as AnkiDroid and free compared to the official Anki app for iphone

"I don't mind ads and just want to learn Korean"

lingory

"I want an app made for Mandarin that's BETTER than DL and has multiple languages to learn Mandarin in"

ChineseSkill (You can use their older version of the course for free)

"I don't like any of these apps you mentioned already, give me one more"

Bunpo: (Languages: Japanese, Spanish, French, German, Korean, and Mandarin)

Hello study group,

Let’s play a game. I’ve added you to a groupchat for studying. Something you ALL AGREED TO DO. Your challenge is that you must consistently reply to groupchat for the whole semester. If I am left on read I get to hunt you all for sport with my baseball bat.

Boot Up Bitch!

First Assignment

As the semester starts it's easy to neglect our mental health in order to focus on school, work, errands, and a million other things. It's important to take care of our mental health.

Your first assignment is to talk a walk outside!

Walking, especially outside, has many benefits on the body. And studies show it can help improve our mental health.

Take 5 minutes. Take 30 minutes. The important part is taking the time to do something for your mental health by taking small steps.

Sometime over the next few days log off and go touch grass (affectionate).

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

There will also be an optional challenge (extra credit!) of taking a five minute walk for the next 30 days starting January 23rd. Every day go outside for a 5 minute walk and journal or post a cool picture of the sky. #TakeAWalkBitch

#if i tell myself its a hw assignment i can convince my brain to make it a priority #tumblr university #mental heath awareness #boot up bitch! #takeahikebitch #mental health #mental health matters #mental heath support #studyblr #nursing school #nursing student #nursing
