Anyone else who has Norwegian going on Duolingo and access to a family/pro account (not for long..!) finding that the speak/listen practice hub is dead and has been for ages now?
Funny how these 'AI-first' apps all turned to shit, huh

Looking for language learning suggestions: family member has used Duolingo for years, gave them family license to get rid of ads, but then Duolingo fired most of staff and switched to AI inaccuracies
It's a decent service if you want to speak to a robot owl, but getting ever more incorrect
Platforms or the people learning are Linux and Android
Self-hosting not an option at this time
Looking for to/from European languages for now

Help is needed: https://codeberg.org/LibreLingoRelive/LibreLingoRelive/issues/2
We want to wake up LibreLingo from the dead to have an open source alternative to Duolingo again, but what's an alternative without working audio?
Anyone here who can help out?

I decided to stop supporting Duolingo this year, after they tripled down on using artificial intelligence and replace the talented humans who used to build for teaching. I let my paid membership lapse, but continued to use the "free" version (recognizing the advertisements still drove $$$ to the company).
But, I had a goal in mind. Breaking with Duolingo is as easy as 1234. I've done my last lesson.

I am looking for a #Duolingo alternative, that doesn't come with a shitload of trackers. #Android #OpenSource #Apps
My wife would like to quit Duolingo (Italian) for something better now that they're effectively limiting lessons per day in the free version with the new "energy"-logic.
So what non-AI-first alternatives can you recommend?

I deleted #Duolingo.
Between AI bullshit, inconsistent answers, and constantly making their app worse, I don’t think I’ve seen a brand tank my good will as quickly since Twitter.

Duolingo just gave me a free preview of one of their ad-free tiers again (after getting wise to me starting and cancelling free trials repeatedly)
And holy shit this is actually usable without the enshittified free tier.
I need to switch to something else to keep my progress up because god knows I am not going to continue doing this for fun when this preview thinger ends.
Anyone have an alternative they like? Possibly a free one at the beginning of the enshittification cycle?
