For Duolingo (app version) expats who are willing to pay ~$5 a month Chegg’s language learning app called Busuu has a similarly convenient app interface but does a MUCH better job teaching grammar in my opinion. I’m learning German and Infinitives were so confusing to try to pick up just using context clues on Duo. I’d tried a couple of the other free options (memrise, lingodeer, the old desktop version of Rosetta Stone) and I think Busuu is the most effective/efficient I’ve tried.

Disclaimer that I was with Duo in the early days when they were still supported by startup money and promising NO ADS EVER. FREE ACCESS FOR ALL, so I am admittedly still a little butt hurt that they moved in the direction they did.

Hey everyone! I decided I'd start practicing my German, since it's been a few years since I studied it, and I'm looking for a chrome extension that lets me translate words or phrases quickly.

I know there's the google translate extension, but I'd rather have something that shows dictionary entries for the words. What would you all recommend using?

I'm trying to better myself and learn another language, particularly French, in what spare time I have. Is there a language learning program that you would recommend? I've been using the trial of Pimsleur but feel there may be better options.

I've always found this very helpful, hearing concepts explained in the language I'm learning. Here's a few that I have found, hopefully you'll find these helpful too!
