I'm learning Spanish and want to support Canada. A google search didn't turn up any Canadian language learning sites. Babbel is German owned so would be okay. Does anyone know of Canadian-owned sites?

LingQ is Canadian; heard about it on c/buyEuropean community.

Unfortunately the app is closed source and only on playstore, so won't use that on my main profile. Could install it on my sandboxed "google" profile, but then I'd be much less likely to just quickly do some learning.

The web functionality is pretty broken on both Firefox mobile (especially) and vanadium.

I get a very uber-capitalist, biz-bro vibe from the guy running it, and the site in general. So I don't think I'll be paying a subcription for premium. The free tier only gives 20 "LingQs" which if you read the founders methodology, is the whole basis of his learning method, so you NEED unlimited lingQs which is a hefty monthly sub. đŸ€ą

Not sure if I believe their claims of how effective their method is or if they're just looking to make a quick buck.


Sidenote: If anyone wants to try the OP's question on hard mode, I'd be interested in any Canadian (notUS) opensource language apps.
