    Do you know of any good options similar to Duolingo?

    I’ve been pissed off with that platform for a couple of years now. They keep changing the structure of lessons and learning paths. I think they’ve been trying to make learning more based on quick rewards at the expensive of context, which I don’t like.

    I took a look around for similar apps a coding of years ago, and they all seemed to be one of: a) paid, b) rifled with ads; c) have crappy/buggy UIs. I realize the ads can usually be motivated with a DNS server, but the fact they showed do many ads is kind of a red flag in general. But I know FOSS options have really taken off in the last year or so, so I’m hoping a new, good, free platform has stepped up to tackle Duolingo and the like.

      Mango languages is nice, and lots of library systems have licenses so you can unlock the premium features with your library card.
