Filipinos, for the Nth time...
Bisaya is not a dialect.
Cebuano is a language
Bisaya is a language
Tagalog is a language
Ilokano is a language
Hiligaynon is a language (Ilonggo refers to the people)
But, Batangenyo is a dialect of Tagalog. Boholano and Bisaya are dialects of Cebuano.
When someone from Davao (Bisaya) speaks to someone from Cebu (Cebuano), they will still understand each other. Why? Because they speak the same LANGUAGE.

All those people understand Latin. We have Americans who can barely speak and understand English.
My little provocation of the day.

All programming languages are shit. But the good ones fertilize your mind.

My neighbor is one of the last 10 people on earth I speak my native language (Teochew) to.
Even very basic conversation: have you eaten? Helps me feel a lot more grounded in a foreign land.

As a non-native English speaker, this old advertisement made me realize for the first time that "marketing" simply meant going to the local market.

The best time to ditch Duolingo was yesterday. The second-best time is today, especially since the company is tripling down on AI slop. We laid out a game plan for how to offload the owl and become fluent in Japanese below:

So my @languagelovers people, does anyone have an answer for @deinol 's question?
I have seen a lot of calls to cancel duolingo as they have fired all* their employees and switched to AI. To make the switch easier for folks, please share your alternatives!
I'm currently studying French, Mandarin, Spanish, Italian, and Ukrainian. Is there another app for that? Thanks all!

After my request for help learning Cantonese, I've got stuck into Mango Languages. I don't think it will still be free for me after 2 weeks but it's a good length for a trial.
My next question is, how does one go about practising tones? Is it mainly listening and recognising the tones that will later help me with speaking?
I'm expecting it to take a long time but that's what I love about learning new things.
