Language learning apps. Lingodeer?
 

Has anyone used lingodeer? What did you think? They have a lifetime learning offer for $99. I'd like to learn Spanish...it would be really cool to learn it well enough to use at work (plan to become an RN). I've taken one semester of Spanish in college. I'm looking for something to keep me practicing and plan to supplement with podcasts and whatnot. Anyway...I'm just wondering if it's worth the money or if I should just stick with the free duolingo.

Duolingo is on sale right now.

I've been doing Spanish on it and I'm considering paying for it.

I think they are all on sale right now [emoji38] googling "is it worth it to pay for duolingo " led me to this one. I like idea of paying once

Following. :popcorn One of my kids wants to learn Norwegian. I have no idea what would be good for that.

Re: Language learning apps. Lingodeer?
 

I didn't see Norwegian on Deerlingo. Maybe babbel or Rosetta stone. Rosetta stone was free for kids earlier this year. Not sure about now

I just followed you, Teri.

I pay for Duolingo, well my subscription ended a few days ago and I told them why I was cancelling and then started a new subscription today. :lol (Your post actually reminded me to do so before the sale ended!) I subscribed so I could do lessons offline whilst abroad. However, it updates the downloaded bits every week and won't let you use it offline once it wants to do its weekly download. Which makes no sense. So I had to use some really bad café WiFi to update. It took the whole hour. :cry2

It's one thing I can succeed at every day. :lol Meanwhile, you're in real college!
The last month or so I haven't been doing much though, mostly just a practice lesson in each language every day.

Re: Language learning apps. Lingodeer?
 

I'm the newbie! I just started a couple of weeks ago and I sometimes just do one little lesson a day. Takes about 1 minute right before bed. I get intimidated scrolling down and seeing how much there is to learn!

It helps that I grew up in south Texas and the language is familiar and I can probably pronounce it fairly well.

I feel the same way about it being the one thing I can succeed at every day! One of my goals for 2021 is to stay regular with it.

I haven't done it for months. I want to do duolingo instead of mindless Facebook scrolling. My kids are learning Spanish, i need to start reading Spanish books with them again.
Joanna- how is it learning multiple languages at once? I took German in high school, and sometimes the German word will pop into my head instead of the Spanish word [emoji38]

So back to lingodeer...I've been reading it has mistakes and already caught a pronunciation that bugs me-
"... y una.." was "you-nuh"
I think I'll just stick with the free duolingo for now. It's good incentive to try harder not to lose hearts. Also, playing on a computer allows unlimited hearts and seems like fewer or no ads. I can't remember because it's been a while.

I took German in HS too and actually started Duolingo with German, not Spanish! But my youngest is taking Spanish, so in order to help him practice, I switched. It's definitely more practical!

Re: Language learning apps. Lingodeer?
 

I know I've had many more occasions where knowing spanish would have been much more helpful than knowing German!

I'm leery of all lifetime access pricing because, if the company goes bust, you're out of that money. But, sometimes it's worth the risk.

I've used Duolingo and liked it but I did find out harder to grasp grammar. I need to print out some verb conjugation charts or something, especially for past and future tense.

Re: Language learning apps. Lingodeer?
 

I am not going to pay for anything. Mispronouncing "...y una..." was a huge red flag for me. I would be having a much harder time with duolingo if i hadn't already taken a spanish class! I also have some quick learner laminated things with grammar rules i got for about $5-6 on amazon.
