I’m wanting to start learning Spanish, and I’m looking for a free option that isn’t Duolingo.

I don’t like the gamey fomo aspect of it.

Anyone have a favorite place they found?

    AI is really good at translating, but not nearly as good at explaining grammar. I have tried before to get a mistral tutor explain to me when a verb takes the gender of the direct object or of the indirect object in Hindi. It gave me a wildly different answer than chatgpt.

      yeah mistral is weak like that, I would say they’re at least a year away from chatgpt and claude but they just don’t have the compute

      I would recommend to use AI for basic games like translate sentence, anki style flash cards, fill in the sentence, eg. unlike duolingo it won’t annoy the hell out of you with ads and energy
