Language learning resources for people who are tired of the green owl! All of these resources are either free or offer a usable free tier.
I made this list after learning that Duolingo, a very popular language app, has replaced all of its contract workers with AI. The format of this repo is inspired by the Hiring without Whiteboards list.
