Learning Spanish as well via Duolingo, but I feel like it’s slowing down and based on this post, looking at alternatives. Have you found one that works better?
Comment on Duolingo Fires Translators in Favor of AI
coffeejunky@beehaw.org 9 months agoI actually had it the other way around, I wanted to learn to understand and speak Spanish a lot better. My wife is half Spanish and her family speaks zero English. Anyway started to learn with Duolingo and my Spanish did improve. But after a while I got to a point where most of the mistakes I made where spelling errors. I don’t care how to spell in Spanish, I’m not going to write them, I just want to understand it and be able to respond. There is no option (afaik) to just learn the meaning of the words.

If you’re having spelling errors in Spanish that’s something you could fix in like an hour by student Spanish pronunciation. It’s like the easiest language to spell in given its deterministic mapping between spelling and pronunciation.
