Hmm. One small update, was doing it slowly so maybe why I hadn’t seen it yet, but it seems the user can do only 5 lessons every 24 hours as a free user. If you’re quick on doing lessons and don’t intend on paying, it might prove problematic.
“Missions”, aside from the main lessons? None that I have found. Now, it has both an streak system and an exp system.
About a “gamifying aspect”, if you mean the leaderboards, I personally try to ignore them altogether, and they are a bother only when they start getting in my way, one of the problems I have e.g. with Duolinguo.
And about lack of comments, haven’t seen any on Airlearn’s side, so in this aspect, I’d think they’re in a similar level.
On the few lessons I tested from it, it seemed less aggressive on pushing monetization, as well as having a more friendly flow in other aspects of design. Now, can’t remember if Duolinguo does, but Airlearn has an option during explanations to report wrong stuff, though I wish it allowed explaining why a given thing is wrong.
Airlearn, com.unacademy.antonio on Google Play.
¡Qué fantástico! 👏
Was testing some Duolinguo-inspired program, and starting from a language I already had sone familiarity, turns out I’m decent enough in Japanese to notice grammar blunders in the lessons! =D
Unsure on the creator side of things, but besides PeerTube, which uses ActivityPub like Lemmy/Mbin/PieFed, looking at Grayjay’s sources list, there are some others, like Rumble, Odysee, BiliBili (Chinese), Nico Nico (Japanese), Dailymotion and Bitchute. Maybe a start to check?
Imo, the best one is the one that fits the user’s needs the best. Though it sounds like a non-answer, distros are usually tailored for specific needs, so not necessarily the features or lack thereof from one distro disregard another.
Copypasta of my comment in the post in the F-Droid community:
Chrono is extremely good for me, given often having to have alarms in the oddest of times, and it allowing me to schedule alarms as one-time only, daily, for specific weekdays, for specific dates, or for date ranges, as well as having the options to force to work in the background if lack of memory in the phone kills it.
As for alternatives I wish I could find, Librera Reader is still the best ebook reader I found outside of Google Play, but I could use it having better controls. Might even take the dust off my PS Vita to read ebooks, as I abhor touch controls due to them usually not being optimized for either precision or view space available (even on-screen controls might help), and on the Vita I can use the physical controls to move the ebooks’ pages around.
Asked about that platform a while back, and iirc, an user said it was a platform focused more on indies, and apparently legit. Not very familiar with it myself, but alas, if it was allowed to be posted over on that subreddit, then another sign it is indeed legit.
On a side note, though it didn’t reach the treshold for changing laws, I imagine it could be the start of a change towards culture, as people insatisfied with the issue may see they’re not alone. And that group’s statement may even bring unwanted attention to the matter, as then more people, potentially even people that didn’t know why they are insatisfied, may start getting up to speed.
Maybe participating in forums and groups for/in your target language would help keep training?
Studying German’s being a bit weird. I keep defaulting to Norwegian for some reason. Still, since I’m policing myself, hopefully I can separate them, as it was with Spanish/Portuguese.
Also since I have some more free time now, I’m back at reading, with some Japanese works as a focus.
I don’t listen to audiobooks to know any good titles, but sites that sell book bundles also usually have audiobook bundles, so maybe they’re a good starting point for finding titles?
Also, if you use Spotify, I can presume you’re at least not overly against DRM, so maybe you’d be interested in Storytel? Came across it a while back and people seemed to talk well of it, apparently being a subscription-based streaming, but didn’t look for further info on it as I saw it is “DRM’d”.
You press F4 and a window within Dolphin comes up, already “cd-ed” to the current directory, the terminal working as Linux’s default bash terminal: https://media.ani.social/01/97/74/79/47/67/7d/23/b3/7d/49e623d62d04.webp
Seems like a simple thing? Indeed. But it’s a small detail that saves a lot of time in the long run for helping with the workflow. No need to switch back and forth between two different windows.
KDE’s Dolphin + Konsole’s integration to Dolphin is great for seamlessly managing files with an UI and terminal hybrid.
Though closed source (overly dramatic music plays), the text editor Sublime Text works great, and at least with major version 3 (last I checked it was in version 4), it can be converted to AppImage without major issues (at worst, paths with spaces have issues).
Firejail is great for starting specific programs offline.
Newsboat is the best RSS feed reader I could find for Linux, specifically due to, with its inbuilt macros, I can set it up to open in new tabs several posts from a comically large amount of feeds.
Thanks!
And hopefully I don’t start mixing Norwegian and German as I learn the latter. My experience with another pair of languages, Spanish and Portuguese, gets me a bit concerned. e.e"
The Rainsdowne Players, lovely and pretty chill game.
Unrelated to Airlearn, but was testing Drops and OkyDoky thanks to a friend’s recommendation. In the free lessons I could take, Drops felt more “gamefied” and with focus on assossiation of vocabulary and sound , while OkyDoky seems more focused on explaining grammar and syntax.
