Duolingo Alternatives by Language

Disclaimer: I haven't used or tested all of them. All resources have different strengths, e.g. Drops being designed for vocabulary. They often aren't full alternatives for Duolingo or formal classes. I just wanted to compile resources for all languages on Duolingo to make the switch easier, especially for the less popular languages.

Feel free to also check out my collection of free textbooks

If you want a more detailed resource list for any of these languages (or perhaps one not listed here) you can send me an ask and I can see what I can do.

I wish iñaki was a method actor. If he'd just topple at least one government, I'd be able to take him more seriously.

Uther: We found this magic book in your room!

Merlin: That’s not mine.

Uther: It was beneath the floorboards!

Merlin: And?

Uther: You hid it there! Confess!

Merlin: Do you know how many people lived there as Gaius’ apprentice before me?

Uther: What?

Merlin: It could belong to any of them. Even from before the purge.

Uther: Why should I believe that that’s not your book?

Merlin: I’m a peasant from a farm village of about twenty people.

Uther: So?

Merlin: I can’t read.

Uther: You… could have learned it here?

Merlin: From whom? Gaius doesn’t have time for that. And I don’t have time myself anyway with the amount of tasks Arthur gives me everyday. Or are you suggesting that Arthur is teaching me? Absolutely not.

Uther:

Merlin: Can I go now? I still have to wash your son’s stinky socks.

PAVITR PRABHAKAR + chai

(or, the joke i’ve been waiting my whole life for)

[Image ID: five gifs of Pavitr Prabhakar sitting at a table with a cup of chai in Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse:

GIF 1: Pavitr sitting at the table with an elderly South Asian woman smiling at him as she pours chai from a kettle into a cup. Pavitr narrates, “Quick break for a cup of chai with my Maya Aunty.”

GIF 2: Pavitr sitting across from Miles Morales in his Spider suit, Maya Aunty’s yellow scarf now draped around his neck. Miles is pouring the tea as he enthusiastically says, “I love chai tea.” Pavitr, in the middle of taking a sip, double-takes and slowly asks, “What did you just say?”

GIF 3: Pavitr enunciating Miles’ words as he sets his cup down between them, gesturing to it with a frustrated hand. Miles looks at him with wide eyes as he continues pouring chai into his cup. The subtitle reads, “Chai tea? Chai means tea, bro.”

GIF 4: A continuation of the previous gif, Pavir gesticulating wildly as he leans in, propping his forearms on the table as he says, “You’re saying tea-tea. Would I ask you for a coffee-coffee with room for cream-cream?” All the while, Miles’ cup is now overflowing with tea.

GIF 5: Pavitr giving Miles a deadpan look across the table, while Miles realizes his misstep and straightens for a minute before he slumps in apology. He continues to pour the chai, now dribbling over his end of the table. The subtitle reads, “Oh! No.”

on a more positive note, the trans subtext with gwen is definitely intentional.

not just because of the “protect trans kids” thing in her room btw. there’s a few other moments like that as well. apparently the dad has a trans badge, i didn’t even see that part and i still caught the subtext.

but also, that shot you probably saw on twitter, where the trans colors are everywhere and the trans flag colors overlays in her hair?

yeah that’s deliberate. i was skeptical but i’m convinced now. there’s no other shot like that in the movie. there’s no other time her hair is overlaid in an multicolored gradient like that. this movie plays with color a lot, but in every other shot, her hair looks normal and is just one color (plus the tips). this was very obviously deliberate as a shot to STAND OUT and display those colors. the dialogue in the moment is about her feeling like she has to hide who she is.

that’s beyond coding. that’s done with purpose. that’s done to be as obvious as they could get away with.

ITSV: Aw, Miles has a crush on Gwen lol

ATSV: Gwen is stupidly in love with this dude, is followed by his image a year after meeting him, carries pieces of him with her like jewelry, would gladly risk breaking the universe just to spend one afternoon with him, aches at not being able to hold his hand, can only believe in the impossible because of him—

Rio is out walking or something and sees Miles and Hobie hanging out and she is shocked bc who is this punk? She watches them for a bit and sees the way they’re acting and is like “omg my son is gay” Later she comes up to him and does the whole “Miles you know you can tell me anything.. right” and he gets freaked out bc he thinks she knows he's spiderman

"I'm sorry Mom I was going to tell you from the start but I just-"

"Miles it's fine, you don't have to apologize-"

"No, I should've told you I was just so scared..."

"Scared? Honey, I would never treat you differently because of this... just, yknow, introduce him and-"

"What? Introduce who?"

"? Your boyfriend?"

"My- I'm sorry WHAT are we talking about right now-"
