The popular language-learning program Duolingo cut 10 percent of its contracted translators last month amid a generative AI push.

Duolingo is very much on the Enshittification path, seems like they fired a number of translators and have the rest just proofreading AI.

I use Duolingo for German but I’d happily switch to something else if they’re going to pull this shit. I’ll often times take things from Duolingo and run them through the Translate app on iOS to see if there are differences. It’s not ideal, but I also have no allegiance to companies.

Clozemaster!

Coming from Duolingo I found it a bit overwhelming. I tried one collection, but as I already know Spanish a bit, it was too easy. Any tips?

Scroll down to the bottom and do the random collection.
