This is why I recommend FOSS apps for base functionality like that. There’s plenty folks out there, who’ve implemented a grocery list app as a hobby project, who don’t need to try to make money off it. As such, their app can exist without ads, tracking or needy notifications.
I recommend FOSS for absolutely everything you use if possible.
I am a Divine Being : You are an Object You Have No Right To Speak In My Holy Tongue
“Divine being” and “holy tongue”… well can’t get on board with that. Machines have better manners than mosr of the people I hear talking.
most humans do suck, but it’s the principal of the matter
For real though, these machines are here in service to me, not the other way around. I’m the one calling the shots, get onboard with that or I unplug yo ass.

that should be a own post xD
Should definitely avoid Duolingo.
I am visiting denmark in summer and wanted to learn some danish. I looked at duolingo, then at their privacy policy, then i threw the idea away. Babbel is better in terms of privacy but still not great. I haven‘t found an alternative product yet.
Asking for a friend, do they sell your data or just (ab)use it?
Both, your data ends up at facebook, google and i think microsoft as well :))
Thanks for the heads up, I never cared much for American companies using my data because I didn’t care much of them making money off my back but I feel that I have to change that with now geopolitic situation changed. I don’t want my data accessible to a government that has increasingly closer ties with regimes like the ones in China, Russia and Israel.
Was thinking perhaps Rosetta Stone, they’re old and well-established, and while I’ve not read through their privacy policy on account of being dead tired at the moment, at a glance it looks digestible.
But then I noticed that they don’t do Danish.
Though maybe we’re too app focused. Denmark has some really good children’s books authors, H.C. Andersen is classic, most people probably know him through his work “Den Lille Havfrue”, or at least the Disnep adaptation, “The Little Mermaid.” For pronunciation my favourite method is singing and mimicking. I enjoy the mouthfeel of other languages, though admittedly Danish is incredibly difficult as the sounds are so different from Swedish.
Yeah honestly children’s books are a good start if you are serious about it, but since I just want to learn the absolute basics for day to day communication, this seems overkill for me. I think danish should be quite approachable for me though since I speak german in mother tongue
I’m sorry, what? A regular smiley face is “psycho”?
look into it’s eyes, is it happy? annoyed? about to jump you? 🙂
Mine was worse than that. It straight up added products to my list.
that is insane, i would obliterate an app that did something like that
🙂
“I have been a good bing” is engraved into my mind forever
