Duolingo Sucks, Now What?: A Guide

Now that the quality of Duolingo has fallen (even more) due to AI and people are more willing to make the jump here are just some alternative apps and what languages they have:

"I just want an identical experience to DL"

Busuu (Languages: Spanish, Japanese, French, English, German, Dutch, Italian, Portuguese, Chinese, Polish, Turkish, Russian, Arabic, Korean)

"I want a good audio-based app"

Language Transfer (Languages: French, Swahili, Italian, Greek, German, Turkish, Arabic, Spanish, English for Spanish Speakers)

"I want a good audio-based app and money's no object"

Pimsleur (Literally so many languages)

Glossika (Also a lot of languages, but minority languages are free)

*anecdote: I borrowed my brother's Japanese Pimsleur CD as a kid and I still remember how to say the weather is nice over a decade later. You can find the CDs at libraries and "other" places I'm sure.

"I have a pretty neat library card"

Mango (Languages: So many and all endangered/Indigenous courses are free even if you don't have a library that has a partnership with Mango)

"I want SRS flashcards and have an android"

AnkiDroid: (Theoretically all languages, pre-made decks can be found easily)

"I want SRS flashcards and I have an iphone"

AnkiApp: It's almost as good as AnkiDroid and free compared to the official Anki app for iphone

"I don't mind ads and just want to learn Korean"

lingory

"I want an app made for Mandarin that's BETTER than DL and has multiple languages to learn Mandarin in"

ChineseSkill (You can use their older version of the course for free)

"I don't like any of these apps you mentioned already, give me one more"

Bunpo: (Languages: Japanese, Spanish, French, German, Korean, and Mandarin)

Have a guess

STEVE BUSCEMI WAS THE INSPIRATION FOR SANJI I AM SCREAMING

Family isn't always a mom, a dad, and a child

Sometimes it a murder mom who always has full mother's adrenaline, a spy dad who isn't as observant as he thinks, and a telepathic 4 year old who lied about her age and is literally the only one who knows what the fuck it going on.

just reread whump au for the nth time now, and it suddenly occurred to me what in god's name would've happened if dipper just straight up kicked the bucket right after saying, "i love you."

i can't imagine bill's reaction would've been a good one. i'm getting chills just trying to picture it, honestly.

in fact, just the image of dipper dying in general, and seeing the aftermath of that from bill's pov, has my whole body breaking out into goosebumps.

awesome.

also, let's just assume that bill hasn't yet figured out the whole reincarnation thing in this scenario aha

(i just really like angst okay? lmao)

Oh man, Bill? Oh Bill. Bill.

He would be very, very upset.

Also this is a good opportunity for the ol' classic:

some interesting stuff I found on the blog of Oriental DreamWorks (an animation company that DreamWorks once held shares in)

Oriental DreamWorks once released the constellation information of the characters during the promotion period of httyd2🤩

Hiccup-Aries (Hiccup’s birthday in the book is February 29th, aka Pisces. I personally think that Oriental Dreamworks made a tiny mistake, has reversed the astrological signs of Hiccup and Astrid)

Astrid-Pisces

Toothless-Scorpio

Stormfly-Libra

Fishlegs-Cancer

Ruff and Tuff-Gemini

Snotlout-Sagittarius

Stoick-Taurus

Valka-Capricornus

Gobber-Gemini

Note: this information is for entertainment purposes only, DreamWorks has not confirmed the zodiac signs of the characters officially
