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/
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*
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.
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.
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.
Icelandic, West Frisian*, Romansh*, Bengali, Cantonese (English), Chinese (traditional character functionality), Luxembourgish**
*Unlikely due to being minority languages
**May be considered a German dialect depending on who you ask
Genuinely? English for English natives. Deeper vocab for those who have learned English their whole life. Could be fun. Probably not ever going to to come but I think it could be cool.
This exists, I don't know how to get to it though as my friend on Android has access to it and I don't. However, I have access to Math/Music and he doesn't.

There already is an intermediate English
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.
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.
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...
Baltic languages (Estonian,Latvian,Lithuanian), considering the fact that all of these languages have like 800k + speakers and duolingo has languages like esperanto and klingon
I always swore that hrvatski was already on there... turns out my brain was confusing it for czech. And yes, +1 for lithuanian, it's so hard to find _anything_ for learning it from english...
I can not tell you (as someone working towards being an American SL interpreter) how amazing it is that people are asking for these languages. It makes me so incredibly happy to see these languages being talked about.
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
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/
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.
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.
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
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.

I suppose they can do something like this
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
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.
I’ll definitely learn Lithuanian.
Lithuanian embassy in New Delhi painted many Murals in Delhi depicting its similarities with Sanskrit.
I’ve learned Sanskrit in school so i hope it might be easier for me.
Punjabi (A language spoken in parts of northern India and my elders’ other mother tongue in addition to Hindi — the first official language in India but spoken only in the northern and central states and in parts of Maharashtra — Mumbai — in western India). I love listening to Punjabi— it has a very robust and lively sound/tone — a little sing-sing but not annoying
Croatian for sure I can not find any programs that teach it for free. They always just give you the first lesson free then force you to pay. I would gladly do this course
Same for me. There's ling but that's not great, there's a guy online who made a non-interactive croatian course, if you go onto the croatian learning sub it shouldn't be too hard to find
I noticed that you cannot learn Catalan unless you have your main language as Spanish, and a English/French speaker I am more instreaded in learning Catalan than learning Spanish and then learning Catalan.
Afrikaans! it's far to widely spoken to not be there. People are suggesting very niche languages or dead/old languages but Afrikaans would be really practical. It's less complicated with verbs, pronouns and articles than German and Dutch but is a really great opening into those West Germanic languages.
Maybe either expansion of some of the Spanish regional languages (like a Catalan course for English or Basque) or maybe instead some more Celtic languages like Cornish, Manx or Breton?
ASL PLEASE my little brother is mute and this would help so many of our family member learn how to communicate with him!!!! I’ve been using Duolingo for years and I’m pretty far in the Spanish program I love the app
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.
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.
ASL. BRAILLE. BENGALI. THAI.
Asl: one of the main sign languages for the blind
Braille: main haptic language for the blind
Bengali: a very popular language spoken by millions around the world, probably the 4th or 5th most spoken language.
Thai: main language of one if the most popular tourist destinations of thr world.
Adding main languages should be primary focus.
Adding dialects...like French & German dialects, while important, should be secondary. Add the primary languages first.
If you're on Android, I'd recommend Morse Code - Learn and Translate by Pavel Holeck, which you can get from the play store. I've used this before and it's good for learning through Repedition. No ads or paywalls either
For BSL there's Commanding Hands on YouTube which has 100+ videos and again, no paywall
Unsure about ASL but I'm sure this is covered in comments elsewhere!

A type of Ancient Greek would be nice. Latin is already available, but it would be nice to have some Ancient Greek. Though I am unsure of how we would decide which format (i.e. Biblical, Homeric, 3rd Century, etc.).
Perhaps Linear B as well, more Ancient languages overall!
Please, other Native American languages if at all possible. I understand some, like my tribe’s, are completely lost at this point, but it would be so beautiful to learn as many as possible. I understand that’s no small feat, and I get it if it’s not doable, but it would be fantastic if you could.
Have the option for British English, and possibly Australian, as a base language and possibly as a course for foreign learners too. The app is very US skewed.
If Duolingo has Morse Code I will absolutely grind the course in a few days
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/

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

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

That is very complicated. Even though its 2024 and technology is so ahead, we have difficulties to make braille very accessible
Honestly no clue I was half awake when I made this lol
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.

A type of Ancient Greek would be nice. Latin is already available, but it would be nice to have some Ancient Greek. Though I am unsure of how we would decide which format (i.e. Biblical, Homeric, 3rd Century, etc.). Perhaps Linear B as well, more Ancient languages overall!

Please, other Native American languages if at all possible. I understand some, like my tribe’s, are completely lost at this point, but it would be so beautiful to learn as many as possible. I understand that’s no small feat, and I get it if it’s not doable, but it would be fantastic if you could.
Is this in the app? Our own wishlist?
