Any opinions on language learning tools, dear #fediverse ?
I know about #duolingo , but are there good alternatives? Is there a reason not to use Duolingo?
Specifically: to (try to) learn basic Hungarian as a native German and English speaker.
Retoots helpful and welcome!
Edit: thanks for all the helpful replies!
JavaScript is the only language that I'm aware of that people feel they don't need to learn before they start using it.

@danmccullough It makes me happy that I'm not the only one reading beetle texts. Some are like ancient rock art, some use unknown alphabets ...
Your monster message dates surely from a secret gathering ...
I want to #work with [you] people in the #Fediverse !
Translating your articles, #proofreading your #writing, doing #research for your video essay on a 20th century philosophical school, teach you one or two #languages, doing admin for your educational non-profit, exchanging broader knowledge around politics, humanities, literature, helping sell you woodcarving art pieces...
but above all I want to make #art and creative things with you.
I run out of options and ressources to find "normal" work IRL where I live, or escaping to study in Europe,
and it is in part because I had already started being too influenced by people on here to be able to continue accepting the dire conditions offered in my immediate environment,
but also, I joined here because I did not really belong in said environment already.
so the thing is, I can only do the things listed remotely, online, for now.
Anyone interested?

I found several of these very useful (e.g., Speaking our language: https://learngaelic.scot/sol/) and can only add BBC Alba's #SpeakGaelic

I've come to the conclusion that the best thing I can do by way of learning languages other than English - is to learn English grammar. Because, once I got through things like Nouns, Verbs, Adjectives, Tenses, and Questions, they stopped teaching me grammar.
And language apps keep trying to shove declensions at me, and telling me how to say "nominative" in Latin. Um. What the hell is a nominative? (No, don't tell me - I looked it up. I can't remember what it is, but I did look it up.)
I compared notes with my family, and my Mother is the only one who could say that she'd been taught about things like that. And that was because she had to learn Latin.
So I've uninstalled the Latin language app, and installed a bug-ridden job from the British Council about English grammar, that started with the verb "to be."
I will return to Latin - but not until I've mastered a more advanced version of English grammar.

I am an anomaly. I never get this lecture. Because in my family I am the supreme early bird and I used to wake my parents up for work.

Language learning is also about different cultures, broadening minds, and opening doors to new opportunities, here and abroad. It's almost like our government wants to keep young people unskilled, especially if they're less affluent. Go figure.
I probably should have mentioned before, by way of #introduction, that my handle here is a play on one of the things that Japanese people say a lot to foreigners, namely 日本語が上手ですね。It's also a reference to the textbook for beginner, post-primary students named "Nihongo Kantan." It's a decent enough book and I see that it appears to be legitimately available for free:
I have a question for the #MetalHeadClub community, as well as the wider #fediverse and #mastodon communities, especially those who follow me.
I've always noticed that Mastodon is less used, perhaps because I tend to write in English, and I find it difficult to switch to my own language here (Bosnian/Croatian/Serbian).
When you see posts in a language other than your own, do you translate them to understand what they say, or do you find it problematic in any way?
Honesty is important here. Let me know what you think.

I'm saving the other large mui choy for a traditional braised pork dish.
