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.
I recommend downloading Discord to join an English Language Learning server.
The voice chat rooms allow you to speak with real people to improve your listening comprehension. The text chat rooms will improve your reading and writing.
There are many native speakers there that enjoy helping, so I’m sure you’ll enjoy it. It’s not “gamelike”, but nothing is better than talking to real people.
This. The two times I’ve noticed my spoken english getting better were when I worked at a call centre and when I spent hours and hours on my clan’s Discord back during New World’s release. Plus, it allowed me to really see what weaknesses I could address by just asking people I was hanging out with how they would pronounce a word. I’ve recently started to have the same thing going with Battlebit, but I haven’t found a group to game with.
If OP’s SO is at all interested in history, Overly Sarcastic Productions has a discord channel and people there are beyond nice. If Gaming is an interest, there’s tons of niche content creators with their own discord to just chat in.
