Admittedly, I never really could give #Duolingo my stamp of approval, due to its methodology used for teaching languages, but inundating the app with ads just to upsell a subscription is not an improvement. I guess I'm just a sucker for getting lured into a #proprietary piece of software whose standard of teaching is not fully disclosed. In my defense, though, that was long before I found out that I love #FOSS.

Apps can help you recognize Hebrew words - but they can’t teach you to use the language in real life.

Your brain needs context, feedback, and a system designed for how your brain actually learn Hebrew.

That’s why so many learners stay stuck for years… and then feel clarity in days when they switch to a method built for real-life use.

If you’re ready for Hebrew to finally make sense:

💬 Comment SPEAK and I’ll send you an invite to my complete system that helps you use Hebrew naturally, confidently, and without guessing.

דַּי לְנַחֵשׁ time to stop guessing🤍

Can anyone recommend good online tools, ideally free or affordable, for learning Danish?

A friend has offered to help me learn and I want to take advantage of the opportunity!

*Not Duolingo, obviously. I'm not interested in their AI slop.

**I don't need lectures from language study purists about using online tools. I am asking for what I want for my own reasons. Bullies and scolds will be blocked.

Glisten 2.1 has big improvements to punctuation and sentence splitting. It pushes the speech-to-text results through an LLM, producing a much better transcript.

Being as Duolingo has fallen off the wagon recently, I'm trying other free language apps. Busuu includes things like this which mean absolutely fuck all to me. If you're going to use grammatical concepts in your language apps, you're going to need to teach them too. I barely know what a noun is. #languageApps #languageAppsSuck #duolingoFail
