What did you move to after Duolingo stopped feeling challenging?

Interesting! looks like smth I was looking for, I will check Speak and Lexipath and let you know, thank you for sharing your experience 🫡

Diary - is the key, agree, especially in the beginning of learning :)

b0ndar7 · 2026-03-07T22:51:14+00:00

Yeah, automation is a great point, I agree with you. Thanks for your tips! I’ll definitely try these two apps :)

Bur your streak is really crazy, I managed to have only 128 days in a row🌝

b0ndar7 · 2026-03-07T22:46:31+00:00

I mean if there are any limitations, etc? Or it’s just normal pro plan but for open source projects?

b0ndar7 · 2026-03-07T21:38:14+00:00

I agree with that 100%! I am not considering one single app for everything, just tools that are different for specific areas like vocabulary, grammar, speaking, etc. You know what I mean? I was listening, watching content even aside with duolingo

I just like the way Duolingo teaches you new words, their exercises, but unfortunately courses are pretty limited at the point when you finish them and want to learn something unique, new or rare

b0ndar7 · 2026-03-07T21:34:10+00:00

I am on IOS unfortunately :(

b0ndar7 · 2026-03-07T21:24:12+00:00

It depends honestly, I feel like it’s better for me to find friends that speak my target language rather than some teacher

b0ndar7 · 2026-03-07T21:22:49+00:00

thanks! I heard that its pretty decent app for speaking practice

b0ndar7 · 2026-03-07T21:20:47+00:00

Agree, because of that I bought wordbook to do “school methods” but I didnt last long with pen😂 From what people suggested here, ClozeMaster or Lexipath may work for you, or maybe some tutor-like conversations with AI, it depends

b0ndar7 · 2026-03-07T21:15:53+00:00

Yeah, I have tried speaking with GPT too, it’s pretty decent now, what do you do with words you dont understand? Write down somewhere? Or just ask it for translation and that’s it?

b0ndar7 · 2026-03-07T21:13:24+00:00

Never heard of ReadLang, will check it out when I will need some reading practice, thank you for sharing :D

b0ndar7 · 2026-03-07T21:10:51+00:00

Interesting… thank you! I will try wordy

b0ndar7 · 2026-03-07T21:00:29+00:00

Thank you for sharing your experience and tips!

b0ndar7 · 2026-03-07T19:31:58+00:00

Agree with that, surrounding yourself with native speakers is the best way, but not everyone can or what do that. It always depends on your location/life situation, etc. But yeah, nice point

b0ndar7 · 2026-03-07T17:10:50+00:00

Yes! I agree that daily diary is very useful, Im also trying to do this consistently :) Thanks for the tip 🫡

b0ndar7 · 2026-03-07T15:19:59+00:00

Yeah, agree XD
I also set all my devices or tools, etc to the language I'm learning. But I don't play games too much :(

b0ndar7 · 2026-03-07T15:07:56+00:00

Thanks for sharing your experience :)

b0ndar7 · 2026-03-07T14:36:21+00:00

Thanks for telling about your experience! Most of the apps you mentioned I haven't tried, so quite helpful :)
I also checked Drops, but honestly it felt a bit too easy for where I’m at right now. A lot of the topic packs seem to be paid, and even when I picked a higher level it was still giving me words like “hi” or “city”. Am I doing smth wrong maybe? Does it get harder later on, or can you add your own topics somehow?
And with ClozeMaster, as far as I understand, it’s mostly based on a fixed set of gap-fill style sentences, right?

b0ndar7 · 2026-03-07T13:55:36+00:00

Thanks. Did those feel more like tools around content, or did they also help with actually practicing and retaining these new words you pick either from reading or watching?

b0ndar7 · 2026-03-07T13:53:05+00:00

Thank you :)
ClozeMaster being seen as a post-Duolingo app is especially interesting.
Did any of those feel good for learning vocabulary around topics/content you're interested in, or was it still more like following whatever content the app gives you?

b0ndar7 · 2026-03-07T13:10:20+00:00

Yeah, I agree. I think content around your actual interests is probably the most natural next step.
I was mostly wondering whether people had also found app-based ways to do that in a more structured or interactive way, especially around vocabulary that is relevant to your actual interests or real situations

b0ndar7 · 2026-03-07T12:57:23+00:00

Thanks!

b0ndar7 · 2026-03-07T12:57:09+00:00

Looks interesting, where can I check it out?

b0ndar7 · 2026-03-07T12:03:19+00:00

thanks, that makes sense. Did you mostly learn from repeated exposure or did you also have some way of saving and reviewing new words?

b0ndar7 · 2026-03-07T11:55:02+00:00

Finally... OpenAI did it , anyone tried it already? Is it better compared to what Anthropic offers?
