Looking for fellow aspiring polyglots and language lovers. If you have a language blog, or track your learning progress somehow, please reach out :).

I like reading, nature, and using my brain. I don't like AI, big tech, and Duolingo.

I created a small language app called Frazely, and that’s what I mostly use for my own learning. Currently focusing on Arabic and Portuguese.

I was about to try Busuu, but then I scrolled down their homepage.
For a moment my dumb ass thought it was a new dialect and I got excited :D But then I saw it's a #Spanish course.
For the sake of all their learners, I really hope the screenshot is fake, and the marketing intern simply didn't speak a word of Spanish... 300+ employees and no one noticed?

"#Duolingo made language-learning fun." Really, #bryanjohnson? Of all the companies in the world that achieved something cool, you choose Duolingo? Yeah they made it fun, but also useless. They used unpaid volunteer work to create their materials. They call the app "free" and force you to watch ads every minute. And they put AI over humans. Awesome example. Way to go. I love you Bryan, but please do your research.
