"There are thousands of volunteers who donated their labour to Duo... Bit by bit all of our work was hidden from us as Duolingo became a publicly-traded company." (aus.social)

Prolly better apps out there (I'm naturally weary of anything like this that's advertised so heavily by sponsored YouTube channels), but so far I'm quite enjoying Babbel. I wish it had the option for like a kinda soft competitive thing like Duolingo had. Trying to work enough to stay at least in my current bracket, and rewarding the player for doing lessons in the morning and before bed, absolutely helped my autistic ADHD ass with sticking to the routine. Gotta maintain that streak, right?

I resist app addiction in all forms except Duo. Amen to that.

I did look at that and I wanted to try it out, but they don't even have a free trial, which is unfortunate. Part of the reason I used duolingo was because I am hoping to get the basics for free so I can see if I'm actually learning.
