Update for 2026: I’m still using each of these apps, but I’ve also added #Memrise. They updated/changed the app and added a language I am studying, so I revisited it and I’m liking it so far. I don’t see it as a main learning tool, but it’s great to supplement with. Video heavy w/ native speakers.

What are your favorite #LanguageLearning apps in 2025? I’m still using these daily… > For Persian: #Pimsleur #Mondly > For Spanish: #RocketLanguages #Busuu #Duolingo I also like #Speakly, #Beelinguapp, and #LanguageTransfer. I just don’t have the time to use all of them.

So,, I have finally learned to stop wasting time on #Duolingo. I haven’t given up on the app entirely, but I am no longer going to do “legendary” on every lesson or any of the side quest things. Just one lesson, after another, forward progress until I finish their whole #Spanish program.

Okay, here it is I looked carefully at well over 1,000 accounts. I wanted to make sure that the accounts were active and that a high % of posts were about language matters I sought a wide mix of topics See the description I hope they are useful & entertaining #langsky go.bsky.app/CLjcEht

After I hit 1,000 days… should I continue? Or is it time to say adios to Señor Duo? #Duolingo got me back into #LanguageLearning and I greatly appreciate that, but there are FAR better apps and tools for learning. Is it a distraction and waste of time? Or a game worth keeping a habit up? #Langsky

Hey #Langsky, what are your favorite #LanguageLearning apps? It’s that time of year to get all the #BlackFriday deals. PS: I use #Pimsleur, #RocketLanguages, #Busuu, #Mondly, and #Duolingo because it introduced me to language apps and I refuse to lose my streak.

#Langsky: Hitting 100 days on Duolingo felt like a big accomplishment. My first #LanguageLearning app. 365 days felt pretty cool. Approaching 500 days now and I can say, the app improves at more advanced levels. Wondering if I will reach 1,000? I think I saw someone with a 2,000+ day streak!

How do people on Bluesky feel about Zuck’s new app Threads? I know many people here see Elon as the source of all things terrible in the world. Is the feeling the same toward Zuck and Threads? I’m pretty neutral, not a fan of either. A platform/community matters more to me than the owner.

Probably the best advice I can give for language learning is this: Trust your brain! It is designed to recognize patterns & it will Give it time How you feel about your progress isn't a good measure. You can't feel your brain's progress. The input is a conscious act. The processing isn't #Langsky

Often people think of learning a language as building a house. So much labor & useless until complete Not so It is like growing a garden. It is a garden from the moment you plant a seed. It gets bigger & more luxuriant as you care for it & plant more each season. A labor of love and a way of life
