Somehow I left Welsh subtitles on so YouTube decided to translate English > Welsh for Bar Rescue compilations and honestly I feel so Seen ™

#i have no idea how accurate it is but the tiniest bit I know it seems kinda right #is it auto translated or ai like??? #this is so dumb but i'm obsessed lmao #special thanks to noted bisexual disaster michael sheen for getting me interested in trying to learn welsh (mostly duolingo tbh) #the duolingo welsh course is ass btw like. use youtube videos or memrise is a'ight idk it's dire out here #official resources are all in *full* welsh or it's like 'come to the UK to study!!' like bruh i'm not travelling the planet. sorry #today's been awful so at least this is something. ofnadwy! #it's hysterical too every resource teaches you how to say 'terrible' first like. y'all a'ight there wales #personal #find this later miracle aligner #duolingo #duolingo alternatives #bar rescue #john taffer is an absolute nightmare of a person but i love this show lmao #cymraeg #welsh #i'm not even welsh lmao

i cannot keep quiet about this anymore.

if you're in the US or Canada and interested in learning a language using a free app please get a library card and download MANGO. it's very good and extremely free with a library card (there are many public libraries and universities using the service, so make an account and use the search feature here to find out if there's one near you).

mango currently has 72 available languages and dialects (that's right! different courses for french or canadian french! spanish or latam spanish!). it's set up basically like an audiobook with text. the idea is that the narrator explains the words while you read, and you repeat after them or say the translation out loud when prompted. there's a daily review where you go through flashcards. you can also use the flashcards at your leisure and create your own. at the end of each chapter there's a listening comprehension quiz and a reading comprehension quiz. i cannot emphasize how effective this all is. and it's free with a card.

if you're not in the US or Canada and/or looking for something more like duolingo (don't use duolingo btw tldr they fired translators and replaced them with "ai"), then try BUSUU! it only has 14 languages atm but the lessons are really descriptive and effective. it also has a feature where you can correct other people's open-ended speaking/typing exercises. you set your fluent languages, and exercises by people learning those languages will appear in your feed for you to correct. you can even add others as friends! and, much like duolingo, it has a streak and leaderboard system for you to strive for, minus the guilt-tripping owl.

busuu is free (you watch ads to unlock lessons and they're all skippable after like five seconds), although it also has paid premium/plus versions (i don't use the paid version—the language courses are available for free, and the ad system is Really unobtrusive).

so that's my wisdom for the day. mango and busuu. please check them out :)

#languages #language learning #mango languages #busuu #duolingo #<- in case people are using this tag to search for alternatives #this feels like a sponsor thing. it's not. i'm just autistic about language resources #i had to make a post about this bc my family and friends are tired of hearing about it LOL #orion originals

I've been using Renshuu to study Japanese recently (actually been like sitting down and doing lessons for over a week now) so if you want to add me... here is my friend code :3

#shay speaks #highly recommend tho i am not a fan of how they do their hiragana/katakana sorting #but print off a few sheets of grid paper and write the kana over and over and itll help a lot #with memorization of the characters. i have a workbook thats been helping me too #also the free program is still pretty good like i was looking at what the benefits to upgrading r #but you really wont even notice it til you get a lot farther in so perfect for trying things out #cant recommend enough honestly as an alternative to duolingo for japanese at least

[foxglves]

wanted to get back into studying languages and downloaded busuu and theres this feature on the app where fluent speakers can correct your open ended writing exercises (and you can do the same for others) and I must admit having 6 random eastern europeans telling me I'm doing a great job at writing 1 sentence in russian and I'm the most perfect specialist little guy on earth every time I submit an exercise makes me way happier than it should. thank you grusha from belarus I needed that positivity in my life. Я тебя люблю.

#I downloaded it as an alternative to duolingo but I think I like it more so far :3

[tsscat]

A lot of duolingo alternatives getting posted rn which is nice except for the fact that it’s kinda reminding me exactly why I got fed up with langblr, i.e. literally only caring about the same 5 languages lol

#‘yeah here’s my duolingo alternative it has everything: French Spanish Italian Japanese and Chinese!’ #tbf duolingo was also guilty of this it just got more resources #tara talks

Translation: Good morning! Wanna go to Atajukinsky today?

Atajukinsky is a park in Nalchik, Kabardino-Balkaria, if someone is interested! It's my hometown, and one summer I've been there and seen a woman who looked just like Zari. So I thought that this character might be from Nalchik in some rusreal AU or smth.

Duolingo teaching me important sentences for the Lost Tomb series

#alternative caption: duolingo exercises to inspire an existential crisis if your name's wu xie #dmbj #kinda #god i never know what's better tag etiquette - using the maintag so your poor friends who want to avoid the obsession du jour can block it #or not using it so people who follow that tag don't have to put up with your inane thoughts #i lean towards using it because i assume anyone who follows a maintag has strength and patience beyond anything i can imagine #but I still feel bad about it

[vjola]

any recommendations for a language learning app that isn’t duolingo? i’m literally going nowhere with it almost after almost 3 years of teaching myself italian

#i know i need to progress more with it like maybe consider online courses etc. #but i’ve had enough of duolingo so an alternative would be appreciated <3

Me working that duolingo and the high school's spanish sessions for the POTC x DinBo fic and writing in every language possible except mine🤠:

#dinbo #din djarin x bo katan #bo katan kryze #din djarin #potc #pirates of the caribbean #“To the Edge of the World” #star wars #alternate universe #the mandalorian #the mandalorian spoilers #me speaking everything but french is such a mood #work that duolingo bestie #someone take the internet from me or the chapter drops tomorrow #english is not my first language

I wish duolingo just stuck to one accent so so bad. Just started Portuguese and every question the same word is pronounced differently 😭I'm already gonna struggle learning 1 alphabet let alone like 5 please duolingo

#murky mumbles #if anyone has a good alternative i'd love it #the only reason i can handle different accents in Spanish is because I'm already used to Spanish accents/pronunciations #but when I don't know the first thing about how things are pronounced in Brazilian Portuguese it's. So difficult #is the ho in tenho silent or not #because google translate and duolingo are giving me 3 different answers rn

[tisiphoness]

making painfully slow progress learning to play a baby version of the leyenda theme on guitar and it is indeed nice to be bad at things and slowly figure it out

#maybe i will finally figure out the whole #doing two different things at a time thing #because that was what i struggled with for keyboard instruments also lol #also using duolingo as a silly distraction/alternative thing to do on phone rather than doomscroll but i am already frustrated because it is #such a bad way to learn languages #like...just tell me what the cases are and how to decline and conjugate! #i dislike memorizing without knowing what's going on!!!
