How hard is it to build an open source alternative to Duolinguo? (feddit.it)

Speaking as a total ignorant from a coding perspective. But I guess that wouldn't be the hard part, considering that most of Duolinguo is just boxes and text inputs. How difficult it is to create a database of competent linguists with an efficient training who can progressively enhance your understanding of languages?

I'm not convinced that model of learning is really effective anyway. At best, it's a fun-ish time killer where you learn a bit about language.

I've been learning French on there for awhile now and it's been extremely effective por moi. They teach you as much French as you would get in a 4 year university program. Plus having an AI powered practice set is like having a teacher who knows exactly what you know and what you need to learn more.

I wouldn't normally comment on a spelling issue, however, in this case...
