For people interested in learning Old English, Osweald Bera is an introductory book written by Colin Gorrie that, if I recall from his prior announcement about this, leans on a method called comprehensible input to teach the language. As far as I can tell from watching some of his youtube videos and reading his other online material, this looks like it could be useful for folks that are including "Learn Old English" as an item on their New Year's Resolution list.

The preorders were just announced. They are saying they intend to begin shipping the books themselves mid-November.

I'm really rooting for this project; it has a lot of promise. It's crowd-sourced and plans to be ad-free.

If you're more curious about details and future plans for the app, the creator did an AMA on Reddit recently.

There isn’t much lesson time for international languages.

Hello everyone,

I really enjoyed [email protected], but it has been down for a while, so I created [email protected]. The idea is just to have a space to talk about anything in Spanish.

That's mostly it. I guess the combination of Duolingo and conjugation can be quite effective.

Also, that's after a year of living in Spain

Seems like an interesting tool

I know they sometimes get a bad rap (especially recently with the lay offs https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2024/01/10/duolingo-ai-layoffs/), but it's still a nice app to use to get started with a language
