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

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?
