That’s a cool photo.
Congrats 👍

That’s a great video.

That’s cool that you have enjoyed Esperanto so much.
June 26, 2025 at 8:10 AM
There are many great apps out there.

I have narrowed my use down to these.

For Persian:
Pimsleur, Mondly

For Spanish:
Rocket Languages, Busuu, and Duolingo just for fun.

The rest I might occasionally dabble with for variety, but I will complete the courses in those 5. I’m committed. 👍

What made you focus on Esperanto? Where/how do you use it so much?

I know a little bit about it. I’ve done a few lessons here/there and then read a little about its history.

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. 😂

You’re learning Indonesian, in Esperanto???

That’s an impressive layering! You must be extremely advanced in Esperanto!

That’s very interesting.

Thanks 🙏

I haven’t been doing as much daily as I used to, but I’m still keeping the streak going.

It’s a good habit. One step forward daily is better than no steps forward.

I would use one of those and then supplement with Busuu.

Having more than one source is good.

Then as you progress, supplement with music, podcasts, tv, movies, etc.

Hope that helps.
Good luck 👍

I have used many language learning apps including Busuu and Duolingo, which I still use both daily.

That said, after 3+ years using those and many other apps, I can confidently say the 2 best apps are

1. #RocketLanguages
2. #Pimsleur

Rocket has like 14 languages available, Pimsleur has 50’ish.

Wow, that’s great. Thanks for the update and being so responsive 👍

You’re welcome.

Did Google Translate do a good job?
March 12, 2025 at 5:26 AM
Did you finish it?

What else have you used?
March 12, 2025 at 3:41 AM
Pimsleur is good too, but Chai and Conversation is by far the best resource available to learn Farsi/Persian. 👍

Good luck.
March 12, 2025 at 3:39 AM
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.

Remélem ez segít.

Ehhez a Google fordítót használtam. Remélem van értelme a fordításnak. 🙏

3. Duolingo:
Véleményem szerint a Duolingo több játék, mint tanulási eszköz. Ez egy olyan játék, amelybe beletartozik a nyelv, ami szórakoztató lehet, és a barátokkal és a családdal való versengés is szórakoztató.

Lehet tanulni a Duolingótól, de nem túl hatékony. Busuu sokkal jobb.
March 12, 2025 at 3:35 AM
2. Mondly:
A Mondly és a Duolingo eléggé hasonló, de a Mondly sokkal jobb és használhatóbb mondatokkal és szókinccsel rendelkezik.

A Mondly remekül alkalmas gyakorlásra, de közel sem olyan teljes, mint a Busuu.
March 12, 2025 at 3:34 AM
Több mint 2 éve használom naponta a Duolingo-t, a Busuu-t és a Mondly-t.

Mind a 3 tetszik, különböző okokból.

1. Busuu:
A Busuu messze a legjobb (a 3 közül) a nyelvtanuláshoz. Ez a legakadémikusabb és legstrukturáltabb.
March 12, 2025 at 3:33 AM
I like Mondly. I think it’s good for practice and learning vocabulary.

I see it as a good supplemental app, but not good as a main app or only tool to learn a language.

I also really appreciate how many languages they offer.

I’m learning Persian. There aren’t many apps that offer that language.
March 12, 2025 at 3:22 AM
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.
