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.

Kindle kindle kindle! I also commented elsewhere but the kindle offers one super key thing: the ability to look up a word’s definition super fast and easy.

You just long press on a word with your finger, and the definition pops up. If it’s a term like “Monrovia” you’ll get the wikipedia article instead. Definitions and wiki articles pop up in a little window just smaller than a post-it note and when you tap anywhere else it goes away.
