Don’t waste money and time on fancy classes or apps to learn a new language. Just set your location and now you can read like a native!
But seriously, why do the big tech companies confuse location and language? If I select English in Australia, why would I want Swedish in Sweden?
The upshot is all my YouTube ads are in Japanese, so I have no idea what they are selling but some of them are hilarious.

This is a huge mistake. It completely puts the burden of inflation on lower-wage workers and the poor.
Meanwhile, corporate executives, Wall Street, and the wealthy get away scot-free.
