I know they sometimes get a bad rap (especially recently with the lay offs https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2024/01/10/duolingo-ai-layoffs/), but it’s still a nice app to use to get started with a language

Impressive, which languages are you learning?
Thanks. A few of them but main focus is Spanish. What about you?
I’m learning Spanish too! We should create a community to practice ha ha
Good idea. That’s what I’m missing about Duolingo tbh. Let’s start it. Maybe we should make a discord or alternative?
I was more thinking about a Lemmy community, I asked about a Spanish instance a few days ago on [email protected], seems like there isn’t any at the moment.
I have been thinking about it for a while, I’ll keep you posted about the potential options
What’s wrong with this community if you want to keep it on Lemmy? I think it would fragment the community unnecessarily
We are not talking about the same thing, I was thinking more about a Spanish-specific community, where we could practice in that language :)
To my knowledge, there is none active so far, (https://lemmy.ml/c/espanol and https://lemmy.ml/c/spain being quite dead), there is one recent message on [email protected], but I’m not a fan of having all communities on LW
I understand now, but I think this method wouldn’t be an efficient one, except for sharing articles about learning that language but I think this c already is good enough for it. What I’m missing is a chat for group of people studying the same language, and where we can also converse orally. That’s what DL is missing, and alternative I tried was full of unmotivated people.
Well, it we were to speak the language, I guess that would work.
That’s more or less how I learned English, by commenting on forums in English. The oral part indeed would need something else, isn’t there any Discord existing already to practice?
