I was just reading about your app, sounds interesting. That’s a great name, “Lang Sesh”.
How’s it coming along?
PS: I have a weird language app addiction. 😂

I’m using Mondly for that too. Have you heard of Chai and Conversation?
They teach Farsi. They have a great podcast, it’s free, very comprehensive.
The podcast is on Spotify and Apple Podcasts.
She also has a popular Instagram page and does a free 6 week Persian bootcamp every quarter.

I’ve even had some of those people want to reach out via WhatsApp to practice outside Busuu.
Granted, the majority of people there just give quick/short answers, but you don’t need too many good people who will be really helpful.
3-5 good people can help a LOT.
PS: Here’s my stats.

I also like #Speakly, #Beelinguapp, and #LanguageTransfer.
I just don’t have the time to use all of them.

When you taught English to immigrants in Australia, were you doing it because you were a right wing extremist having a moral panic?
Or was it to help them assimilate and communicate in the new country they had moved to?
I would hope and assume the latter.

So,, I have finally learned to stop wasting time on #Duolingo.
I haven’t given up on the app entirely, but I am no longer going to do “legendary” on every lesson or any of the side quest things.
Just one lesson, after another, forward progress until I finish their whole #Spanish program.

After I hit 1,000 days… should I continue? Or is it time to say adios to Señor Duo?
#Duolingo got me back into #LanguageLearning and I greatly appreciate that, but there are FAR better apps and tools for learning.
Is it a distraction and waste of time? Or a game worth keeping a habit up? #Langsky

Hope this helps.
It isn’t easy to find.
They want everyone to buy the $20/month membership.

The two main languages I’m focusing on now are Spanish and Persian/Farsi.
For #Spanish I use Rocket Languages and #Busuu.
For Persian/Farsi I use Pimsleur and Mondly.
I consider #Duolingo a game. I have done the most with Spanish, but have also dabbled in French, Japanese, Mandarin, and Russian.

Hey #Langsky, what are your favorite #LanguageLearning apps?
It’s that time of year to get all the #BlackFriday deals.
PS: I use #Pimsleur, #RocketLanguages, #Busuu, #Mondly, and #Duolingo because it introduced me to language apps and I refuse to lose my streak.

I agree 100%.
I think we as a society need to wake up to the fact that sending children to go fight wars on behalf of old corrupt politicians and greedy corporations is something we should stop doing.
We should allow children to grow into adulthood rather than instantly/arbitrarily forcing it.

This needs to be compared to the cost of living increases in home prices, rents, electricity, food, interest rates, etc.
Those cost increases have dwarfed jobs/income increases.
This is extremely misleading.
This is literally the definition of propaganda.

#Langsky: Hitting 100 days on Duolingo felt like a big accomplishment. My first #LanguageLearning app.
365 days felt pretty cool.
Approaching 500 days now and I can say, the app improves at more advanced levels.
Wondering if I will reach 1,000?
I think I saw someone with a 2,000+ day streak!

How do people on Bluesky feel about Zuck’s new app Threads?
I know many people here see Elon as the source of all things terrible in the world.
Is the feeling the same toward Zuck and Threads?
I’m pretty neutral, not a fan of either. A platform/community matters more to me than the owner.
