Hi guys, I'm a totally #Blind woman interested in learning French to start with. In coming back to #Duolingo, I found that the first thing you have to do right off the bat is "choose the correct image". You can choose based on the audio you are hearing, absolutely, but you have no way of actually knowing what the so-called correct image actually is, making it pretty much impossible from an accessibility standpoint to know what words are being introduced and/or what they mean in English. Does anyone know of a good language learning app that is actually accessible? #A11y #technology #Language #French #Learning #Screenreader

I agree.

The same could be said about #Canada, but #French being the native language of some Provinces tips the scalesin favor of French.

Regarding #Mandarin it might also be that even for native speakers it is a live-long endeavor.
Who many languages do you know for which you need learn about 2.500 signs so that you can read an average newspaper?

Interesting,

...the company from #Pittsburgh also operates in mainland #China,

...even in China's manufacturing backyard, the no. 1 language is English,

... Only (all) #Scandinavian countries seem to teach English well enough, so that Duolingo isn't #1.
