Jan<p>What are people using for language learning? I think it’s time to let go of Duolingo. <a href="https://mastodon.hidupmanis.studio/tags/LanguageLearning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LanguageLearning</span></a></p>

dreadful sorry<p>Ooh, there's a new app in the works called Lingonaut that looks like old school Duolingo, with courses by volunteers, forums for community help/interaction, etc. So far it looks like everything in the works is learning from English, but it seems like an extremely solid start all things considered, and they seem very open to more volunteers.</p><p>Definitely keeping an eye out for the open beta and joining the Discord. <a href="https://lingonaut.app/launchpad/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">lingonaut.app/launchpad/</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p><a href="https://meemu.org/tags/LanguageLearning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LanguageLearning</span></a></p>

TKb0iZ 🇷🇴<p>I'm starting a new thread for my <a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/LanguageLearning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LanguageLearning</span></a> journey. <br>As everyone knows I speak both English and Romanian, but I also speak Russian, Ukrainian, Bosnian and more. Specifically:</p><p>1. English (C1 - Advanced) - because I used to go to an international school and learning English was required. I may make some mistakes though</p><p>2. Romanian (C2 - Proficient) - obviously because I was born and raised in Romania 🤷♂️</p><p>3. Russian (B2 - Upper Intermediate) - I used to have some Russian friends (who later began to mostly ignore me). Now I just learn it because I want to be able to understand some songs. I can understand the main ideas of complex texts and can interact with native speakers with some degree of fluency.</p><p>4. Bosnian (B1 - Intermediate) - Because why not. Definitely not because of a certain band I haven't listened to in a while. I can produce simple connected text on topics that are familiar or of personal interest.</p><p>5. Ukrainian (B1 - Intermediate) - Because why not. I can understand and communicate on familiar topics. I tend to be more simple on that level.</p><p>6. Greek (A2 - Elementary) - I mostly use basic phrases and expressions but I can also get complex when necessary.</p><p>7. German (A2 - Elementary) - Mostly some basic expressions and phrases.</p><p>I also dabble in other languages too but not as much: Spanish, Korean, Chinese, etc.</p><p><a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/langtoot" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>langtoot</span></a> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/languagelovers" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>languagelovers</span></a></span></p>
