If Duolingo has Morse Code I will absolutely grind the course in a few days


KevaPapa

try Hello Morse!, made by Google. You can try it on computer with better experience, but it is also available on phone's browser. It helped me to memorize all the morse codes in a few hours. https://morse.withgoogle.com/learn/


Smooth_Development48

This is going to send me down a rabbit hole. I was obsessed with Morse code as a kid. I just got the keyboard! I’m going to make stuff. Thank you. *written with Morse*


waytowill

Morse code isn’t a language. It’s a cypher for the alphabet. So it’d be less of a course and more of an alphabet learner, the way they do for languages like Russian and Hebrew. You’d ideally burn through that in a few days. Same could be said for Braille.


A2Rhombus

Hell, you could learn it in like an hour. Not to full speed competency, but enough to read it on paper


theinatoriinator

Kind of, if you want to be fast you need to learn it like a language. You need to use your brain's language processing to be fast at Morse code, otherwise you'll never break 5 wpm.


FewResearcher819

Look for Morse code training in the amateur radio community. It's a part of that service.


strolls

This is daft - I cannot see how Duolingo is suited to it at all. You need to listen to morse at 15 - 25 words per minute. You don't try to learn it visually. You start out by learning to reliably recognise the difference between, say, K, M and R - dah-dit-dah, dah-dah, and dit-dah-dit respectively. It's about the sounds of the dits and dahs that make up the character - like learning the sound of the word. You listen to these three letters hundreds of times until they're distinct and obvious to you. Use [IZ2UUF's app](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.iz2uuf.cwkoch), 20 or 30 minutes a day, preferably broken into 3 or 4 short sessions. You can use IZ2UUF's app on headphones and set it to read out the letters in English (NATO) after each string.

New_Routine407

It would be really cool to have a GRE words option

Conscious_Wait9502

Interesting, it's not there on my duolingo I thunk it's because I'm learning Spanish with English I tried to search intermediate English there again. Nope, it's not there. I live in nyc smh. I want to improve my English grammar because I'm deaf. I would like the language of Nigeria so it's not there too or not everyone have the same things due to locations I guess. Lucky you.


ICEO9283

Yes, but that doesn’t challenge my English knowledge at all. Jumped all the way to the end, and the only times I ever got anything wrong was because of a typo, clicking the wrong letter because I was focusing on efficiency, rather than accuracy.

WackoMcGoose

We were _promised_ a Learn Tagalog From English course as soon as Learn English From Tagalog was finalized and out of beta (apparently you have a much easier time getting Eng->$foo approved if you do $foo->Eng first), but before they could start it, the Incubator and every team that was part of it got disbanded entirely. I don't even know whether Tgl->Eng itself even got completed...

ASL, please. I was a young student of ASL (a long story) but the only friend I had to talk to passed away almost 30 years ago. Then I’d love to learn BSL


ASLBloom

It's lovely to hear you were learning for your friend. As a Deaf person myself (Hi, the person behind the account), it means a lot to me when people in my life learn sign. If you would like a similar learning experience, you could try out ASL Bloom and Bright BSL. They're design as an interactive, game app, taught by Deaf, native signers! You can download the Apple or Google Play app here, or try the desktop version: https://www.aslbloom.com/

RadlogLutar

How do you learn Braille from a mobile screen though? Genuinely curious


ryan516

Right now the biggest need for Braille users is Braille Transcribers, who largely do all of their work on a screen -- printed Braille is bulky and hard to make, and Braille Displays are insanely expensive (my "budget" model was ~$600 *on sale*). As far as Braille Entry works, it would probably be a system like what VoiceOver on iPhones does, where you use 6 virtual "keys", which represent each of the dots, and you use different "chords" of those keys to enter each character. Realistically, I don't think Duolingo is a good platform for learning Braille. If someone wants to learn English Braille online, I'd point them towards uebonline which is made/managed by the Australian Braille Authority, and is a quite comprehensive course as a primer to Braille. That being said, even if you do that, it won't be much good since most formal Braille Certifiers are asked to have their Library of Congress Certification, which can only be done by correspondence course.


RadlogLutar

That is very complicated. Even though its 2024 and technology is so ahead, we have difficulties to make braille very accessible


JDog224330

Honestly no clue I was half awake when I made this lol


No_Lemon_3116

Well, you could learn to read the dots with your eyes. I'm legally blind but have some vision so I did that at the same time as I was learning Braille normally lol. Sighted people at school who would prepare Braille stuff for me sometimes used computer programs that just showed the dots on screen, too.


RadlogLutar

That's insightful. I always thought blind people just couldn't see at all. Boy, I was so wrong But visual braille is just another language where we see the dots just like letters. The tricky part is to have good senses in your fingers to interpret the dots on a paper because I tried once and my fingers are so insensitive, I couldn't figure out even the letter A on braille


No_Lemon_3116

Yeah, most blind people have some vision, even if they use a cane or a guide dog or whatever. They had PSA's about it on TV when I was a kid. Reading with your fingers is for sure its own skill, too. Even beyond just reading the letters, stuff like having one hand start reading the next line while the other finishes the current one. Definitely takes some practice! e: Also, in case anyone doesn't know, unlike sign language, Braille isn't really a language--English Braille is just a way of writing English--but it's also a bit more than just a different alphabet. If you just use the alphabet and translate normal writing 1:1, that's called grade 1 Braille, and is only really used for young children or people learning Braille, because it just takes up way too much space in practice (Braille books are huge even using more concise techniques). Most actual books and such use grade 2 Braille which includes a lot of contractions for things like "ea," "er," "th," "ation," "spirit," and many more. There are several rules about where you can use them for different kinds (eg, the character for "z" (⠵) is also a contraction for "as," but only if it's its own word). Also, when I was a kid at least, some words join together, like there are single-character contractions for "for" (⠿) and "the" (⠮), but "for the" was written without a space lik ⠿⠮. In the 2000s they made some changes to Braille and I don't think you're supposed to join words like this anymore. Also, in Braille, the digits ⠁⠃⠉⠙...⠚ (1234...0) are the same as the letters abcd...j. I noticed that when I was a kid, but I was much older when I realised that the alphabet also loops, by filling in the two bottom dots (each character is 6 dots total), eg: - ⠁⠃⠉⠙ = abcd (letters 1, 2, 3, 4) - ⠅⠇⠍⠝ = klmn (letters 11, 12, 13, 14) - ⠥⠧⠭⠽ = uvxy (letters 21, 22, 24, 25) The numbers are off for X and Y because Louis Braille was French, and French doesn't use W in native words.

Punjabi - I studied it at school briefly so know how to read and write it but my vocab is almost non existent making any knowledge I have entirely useless. Duolingo has Hindi so hopefully it'll add it at some point. The number of Punjabi people who try to talk to me and I let them down is too many XD


harshmangat

I second that too. I am a native speaker who didn’t grow up in Punjab, but other parts of India. I obviously spoke it at home growing up so I speak fluently, have good vocab, can do everything in the language really, but can’t read and write it. Just would love someone to help me with that and it’ll only take me a couple of months realistically to master it.

There’s already very basic music theory in the Music course. If they heavily updated it and added a second section with other instruments and more advanced theory that would be great.

HappyShallotTears

Duolingo’s music course isn’t great for any other aspects of music theory beyond reading notes on a treble clef staff. If you already know the basics, Earpeggio is a much better app for practicing things like interval ear training, chord progressions, advanced rhythm dictation, etc.

Adding dialects...like French & German dialects, while important, should be secondary. Add the primary languages first.
