An app to improve English? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I'm looking for an app or website to help my so improve her English.

We looked at Duolingo earlier (as I've used it before for learning a bit of Greek) but it does not support English to English courses. This is a problem as our native language is as obscure as it gets.

Do you have any recommendations? It would be awesome if the service was as gamelike as Duolingo.

This is my first post on Lemmy, I hope I'm not in the wrong community.

pirate movies and watch them. This is the fastest way to learn a language.

That's what we've been trying so far, but unfortunately it does not work for her.

Also, music. Paying attention to the lyrics helps with learning new words, though ig metaphors, similes, etc., would be tricky, if not an even better learning experience.
