Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!


How voting works:

Vote the opposite of the norm.


If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.



Guidelines:

Tag your post, if possible (not required)


  • If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
  • If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].


Rules:

1. NO POLITICS


Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.


2. Be civil.


Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...


Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.


5. No trolling.


This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.



Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

Depending on the language and the platform, I can suggest a lot of services that is way better and free and user respecting.

Japanese and German for android

Lingodeer (haven't used it in awhile, but remember it being quite decent) and Satori reader are what I can recommend for Japanese. Also for practically any language AnkiDroid works wonders for vocabulary.

Do you know any for learning Czech?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

After living in the Czech Republic for almost 5 years and giving the language several tries, I can say that there are probably no really good apps for it. Considering that the language is relatively unpopular, difficult, and not really useful anywhere else, that's expected.

Yeah, I've scoured the internet for good (and free) apps myself. That's why I've been using Duolingo even though it's not even all that helpful because it doesn't explain the grammar. I also use Anki too, but its help is also limited. I did buy a text book, but it was very dry and it's not all that effective for my learning style. I do appreciate the response though.
