Duolingo Sucks, Now What?: A Guide

Now that the quality of Duolingo has fallen (even more) due to AI and people are more willing to make the jump here are just some alternative apps and what languages they have:

"I just want an identical experience to DL"

Busuu (Languages: Spanish, Japanese, French, English, German, Dutch, Italian, Portuguese, Chinese, Polish, Turkish, Russian, Arabic, Korean)

"I want a good audio-based app"

Language Transfer (Languages: French, Swahili, Italian, Greek, German, Turkish, Arabic, Spanish, English for Spanish Speakers)

"I want a good audio-based app and money's no object"

Pimsleur (Literally so many languages)

Glossika (Also a lot of languages, but minority languages are free)

*anecdote: I borrowed my brother's Japanese Pimsleur CD as a kid and I still remember how to say the weather is nice over a decade later. You can find the CDs at libraries and "other" places I'm sure.

"I have a pretty neat library card"

Mango (Languages: So many and the endangered/Indigenous courses are free even if you don't have a library that has a partnership with Mango)

Transparent Language: (Languages: THE MOST! Also the one that has the widest variety of African languages! Perhaps the most diverse in ESL and learning a foreign language not in English)

"I want SRS flashcards and have an android"

AnkiDroid: (Theoretically all languages, pre-made decks can be found easily)

"I want SRS flashcards and I have an iphone"

AnkiApp: It's almost as good as AnkiDroid and free compared to the official Anki app for iphone

"I don't mind ads and just want to learn Korean"

lingory

"I want an app made for Mandarin that's BETTER than DL and has multiple languages to learn Mandarin in"

ChineseSkill (You can use their older version of the course for free)

"I don't like any of these apps you mentioned already, give me one more"

Bunpo: (Languages: Japanese, Spanish, French, German, Korean, and Mandarin)

It's been 7 long years.

The final season of Percy Jackson and the Olympians has just begun to release.

The Ares and Apollo cabins are in a dispute over ownership for the flying chariot.

The counselors sit around a table in the Big House.

Percy has just learned that he's (probably) gonna die in the next month, when Clarisse and Michael begin to bicker. Percy has had it up to here.

He starts clapping rhythmically. There is a lull in the room as they stare at him.

He claps faster.

"Oh golly, the road's getting bumpy, cause I've got me some friends who just can't get along-"

SALLY AND POSEIDON SCENE???

THE RAIN TO SIGNIFY HE’S THERE??? NO WONDER SHE WAS SITTING IN THE RAIN IN THE BEGINNING OMG, THERE’S MORE TO IT THAN JUST THE WATER BEING CONNECTED TO HIS DOMAIN

he’s not the best father by a long shot but i’ll still give him his flowers for still seeing sally when most the other gods don’t even think about their mortal lovers once they’re done with them.

“You have no one to say it to, and that may be the most unfair part of it. You say it, and I’ll listen.”

ok go off poseidon ‼️‼️‼️

the sass on this boy is insane istg

getting ciaoed by a teenager in a haas while he overtakes your redbull is absolutely diabolical 💀

I have nowhere else to document this so here we go:

Gonna do a no-buy for makeup, skin and body care products because I tend to hoard and stock up without realising 😭 and I get gifted makeup that I haven't used up.

I've been meaning to go through things but with college being college I haven't actually done much. And now that it's a new year, I'm making it a mission of mine.

So this is going to be my formal attempt at using up what I have properly for about two months minimum (I might need to buy some necessary products like sunscreen by then)

Goal: use up as much of the half used things I've got.

The stuff I'm going to tackle first (and document) are:

• a few mini perfumes that I got as a gift (very small, and the smell doesn't last so they'll be the first to go lol)

• a small hand cream thats half used

•my old b&bw rose lotion (only about a third left in it so it shouldn't be hard)

•a lipbalm (I have a lipbalm addiction and have collected wayyyy too many so I have to stick to one and finish it😭) I'm going with a Nivea lip balm

• an almost empty tub of aloe vera gel (I use it pretty regularly but I need to make sure I use it,cuz I already got a replacement 😞)

I've technically got much more to tackle but these are what I'm going to document for now 💪🏻 I'll update this at the end of the month and whenever I finish one of the products on the list!!

Your honour, I love them.

I mean look at this

I'm just know I'm not the only one who thought of Will Poulter,when I saw Yoon Chanyoung...

I can't believe a criminal is leading the race
