    is there an alternative to duolingo that lets me learn multiple languages for a decent price? Rosetta stone was great and all, but i ain’t got 100 bucks to shell out for each language i want to half-assedly learn.

      I just dumped Duolingo after this AI bullshit and am testing Mango Languages. So far I like it, but it is way different than Duolingo. Way less gamified and more focused on speaking. Plus, it gives cultural context to certain phrases that don’t literally translate, which I find interesting and valuable. if you are in the US, your library might offer a free subscription with your library card.

      You may want to check and see what your local library offers for language learning services, some provide Rosetta Stone to card holders free.

        Absolutely love language transfer. At least for Greek it was great, the founder Mihalis is a British Cypriot.

      Nope, there are no ways to learn a language other than using an online service. Any other way is deemed impossible
