App suggestions for vocab that's not Duolingo? (self.languagelearning)

I want a free app to practice and memorize vocabulary but one that also teaches grammar and audio comprehension (I can barely understand sometimes, especially since I don't use Duolingo every day) better than Duolingo does and doesn't make you lose hearts or anything.

How do you deal with learning gendered articles? (sopuli.xyz)

Wanted to ask for some tips since I'm really struggling with this trying to learn German.

I know there are certain ways to guess the gender (e.g. -er endings are usually masculine, -ung feminine and loan words neutral) but often times I'm just butchering the whole sentence by not knowing the correct articles.

Let me demonstrate my frustration: in many cultures the moon is considered "feminine", but in German it has masculine article!

Bitte, hüfe!

Osweald Bera: An Introduction to Old English [Pre-Order] | Vergil Press (ancientlanguage.com)

submitted 3 months ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

For people interested in learning Old English, Osweald Bera is an introductory book written by Colin Gorrie that, if I recall from his prior announcement about this, leans on a method called comprehensible input to teach the language. As far as I can tell from watching some of his youtube videos and reading his other online material, this looks like it could be useful for folks that are including "Learn Old English" as an item on their New Year's Resolution list.

The preorders were just announced. They are saying they intend to begin shipping the books themselves mid-November.

I'm really rooting for this project; it has a lot of promise. It's crowd-sourced and plans to be ad-free.

If you're more curious about details and future plans for the app, the creator did an AMA on Reddit recently.

Hello everyone,

I really enjoyed [email protected], but it has been down for a while, so I created [email protected]. The idea is just to have a space to talk about anything in Spanish.

Realmente disfruté [email protected], pero ha estado caído por un tiempo, así que creé [email protected]. La idea es simplemente tener un espacio para hablar de cualquier cosa en español.
