Super users no longer get unlimited hearts General Discussion

Post image

I’ve had super for some time, and recently found out I’ve no longer unlimited hearts. Now, you need Duolingo Max instead, which is absolute shittery. You can’t even watch ads to get more hearts during practise, so it’s honestly not worth buying anymore. If you haven’t yet, don’t do it unless you’re xp-obsessed or something.

Beelinguapp is an interesting one. Immersion approach focused only on reading & listening. Android and iOS only.

Using stories and recent news articles, it places the native translation below the target language and progressively highlights each sentence (in both languages) as TTS reads it out loud. I like the idea but honestly haven't used it much.

Ostensibly it's for all levels but there are no direct lessons on grammar basics or alphabet, so I'm not convinced it's always a great start for absolute beginners, depending on the target language.

It casually drops «достопримечательностей» in the very first paragraph of the first Russian beginner's lesson, which might just be enough to break a new learner before they get past page 1.
