While Mozilla is far from perfect, I think they've managed to avoid getting shitty for almost 20 years.

Thank you for the kind wodrs. Sadly I'm not looking for an app for myself but for my girlfriend.

I got my BA in the UK years ago, and I've made a fool of myself plenty of times, both culturally and linguistically. And you're absolutely right, it really is the only way to properly learn a language.

If you're looking for efficiency, nothing beats a static website.

You're right. When you put it like that, calling it obscure sounds like an exaggeration. Though it's probably one of the least spoken Slavic languages.

I fully agree with you about having real conversations with real people. The thing is, you need some confidence before being able to speak the language, especially to native speakers. And for some people that comes with a bit of practice by themselves. Thats what I find apps like Duolingo help with.

You see, one of the goals is to be able to enjoy media in English together. The problem is that she quickly gives up after encountering too many unfamilliar words or constructs.

Thats why I'm looking for an app to help her get a bit more confident.

That's what we've been trying so far, but unfortunately it does not work for her.

Just took the test for myself and it looks very promising. Thanks!

I thought I shouldn't doxx myself so much, but whatever. Our native language is Bulgarian.

I guess you can use wormhole to transport the data to your peer, and if you're extra paranoid encrypt it asymmetrically with something like age.

Then again you can just encrypt it with age and send it over Signal. There should be no risk involved in sharing public keys even if you don't trust their servers.

Fourth. I loved it so much when I was younger that it influenced my main username.

Probably offtopic, but are there any popular old android tablets that run linux proper?
