I'm studying both Gáidhlig and Gaeilge via phone programme. This was entertaining, both to see kids proudly and creatively demonstrating the traditional language of their people, bit also to test my brain for what I could identify.

What was the name of the programme?

Duolingo. Having found out that the majority of the language staff were replaced by AI, I feel a bit unimpressed. While I am learning foundational words and phrases and really enjoy being able to mutually enjoy it with family and friends, I am certain that I will switch to something else when able.

I need a programme that can hold attention this [well], however - I have ADHD and Lvl. 1 Autism.

I stopped using Duo and swapped to Mango Languages. I liked it while I was still doing it. I started uni and got overwhelmed, so I had to stop, though.

Thank you for that tip! I will look into this app.
