Scottish Gaelic coming soon: https://www.duolingo.com/enroll/gd/en/Learn-Scottish%20Gaelic
I haven't seen Duolingo mention the date, but it's launching on St Andrew's Day according to this very brief write up featuring one of the course contributors: https://www.theguardian.com/education/2019/oct/20/endangered-scottish-gaelic-online-lifeline-language-lessons-duolingo
The wait continue for Basque.

Hawaiian and Navajo courses tiny, but Welsh is pretty extensive, let’s hope Scottish Gaelic gets the same treatment. Yeah, Basque would be nice. Have been trying out this new app called Drops. More of a vocabulary trainer, don’t see any grammar, but still looks to be pretty useful.

I tried the French course for a few days recently because I wanted to brush up. I burned out really quickly. Could not handle the tedious repetition and the constant quizzes I had to take every time I lost health for not being able to differentiate between their pronunciation of "in", "en", and "on" for the thousandth time.
Is there an app with more variation?

I have speaking and listening exercises off to a void that problem.

Due to marital woes (ok fuck it husband fucking off THANK GOD), I kinda forgot to do my daily ex and lost my 260 streak. Merde. Now at day 22 or whatever. Some topics are très difficile but on the whole I’m loving it. It has vastly improved my french (at work) which was the main reason doing duolingo.
― nathom, Monday, 18 November 2019 00:42 (six years ago)
I stopped doing the talking ex cause 1 I have noticed it didnt notice if I made mistakes and 2 I can talk well so what’s the point
― nathom, Monday, 18 November 2019 00:44 (six years ago)
Yeah, that is notorious problematic.
― Irae Louvin (James Redd and the Blecchs), Monday, 18 November 2019 01:12 (six years ago)
One week into this Drops thing. So far so good.
― Irae Louvin (James Redd and the Blecchs), Thursday, 21 November 2019 15:47 (six years ago)
Drops?
― nathom, Thursday, 21 November 2019 16:04 (six years ago)
Oooh just recommended to my teen. She wants to study korean
― nathom, Thursday, 21 November 2019 16:13 (six years ago)
Take a look at LingoDeer for Asian languages. I haven’t tried their Korean but their Japanese course was way better than duolingo.
― American Fear of Pranksterism (Ed), Friday, 22 November 2019 00:22 (six years ago)
Duolingo Japanese improved since you last looked, more lessons, tips in app, much more kanji but yeah, LingoDeer probably still better. For Korean but of them seem kind of too hard to get started with seems like Drops might be a way to ease in.
― Irae Louvin (James Redd and the Blecchs), Friday, 22 November 2019 00:51 (six years ago)
I recommended it to my daughter. Also weird how I perform well in some sections but am horrible in others. Do love doing french. I missed it so much.
― nathom, Friday, 22 November 2019 16:17 (six years ago)
Gaelic is out. Folks in Scotland are amused and happy that Irn Bru makes an appearance in the first lessons... "Tha IRN BRU math"
― brain (krakow), Thursday, 28 November 2019 13:39 (six years ago)
Ha, that’s probably the only word of it I know
― Irae Louvin (James Redd and the Blecchs), Thursday, 28 November 2019 14:08 (six years ago)
But I don’t think it will help me place out of any lessons.
― Irae Louvin (James Redd and the Blecchs), Thursday, 28 November 2019 14:13 (six years ago)
Seems an ex-ILX0r makes an appearance in the first lessons as well.

Tegen wie denk je dat je het hebt?
― Irae Louvin (James Redd and the Blecchs), Thursday, 5 December 2019 23:15 (six years ago)
anyway, back to Duolingo. Seems that once one gets to Set 6 of the Stories, the questions are in the foreign language and the stories themselves are significantly more intricate.

Dit heeft niets met jou te maken sounds more natural btw.
Also wtf is the difference betw tous les jours and chaque jour? Just seems weird we can’t use the latter.
― nathom, Sunday, 8 December 2019 22:38 (six years ago)
in what context? they seem pretty similar □ chaque jour. La tâche de chaque jour. ➙ journalier, quotidien. Périodique paraissant chaque jour. ➙ journal. PROV. À chaque jour suffit sa peine. □ tous les jours : chaque jour, quotidiennement. Ce sont des choses qui arrivent tous les jours, couramment. (1579) De tous les jours : courant, habituel, ordinaire.
