I really like Duolingo’s approach to language learning (even though I know it’s not actually that effective) but considering the privacy nightmare that Duolingo is, plus the continuous enshittificafion of the app, I’d love to use a more privacy friendly and less ad ridden alternative.
Any suggestions would be appreciated :)
I use Duolingo every day, seems pretty effective to me.
I’m not sure how it’s a privacy nightmare. I gave them my email address for spam and a false name.
To avoid the ads, I use it via browser (firefox with ublock origin) on my phone instead of on the app.
I use Duolingo, but at least for Greek it’s really slow and inefficient. I am 2/3 of the way to the end and feel like I still suck. Plus, I learned a word for vegetarian in the first few weeks but haven’t yet learned a word for money for instance. I feel like it’s very badly optimized.
