On the few lessons I tested from it, it seemed less aggressive on pushing monetization, as well as having a more friendly flow in other aspects of design. Now, can’t remember if Duolinguo does, but Airlearn has an option during explanations to report wrong stuff, though I wish it allowed explaining why a given thing is wrong.
That sounds quite nice. How is the gamifying aspect? Enough to keep you hooked for daily lessons?
Duo also has a flagging functionality, but this used to be so much better with direct comment section below every answer. Sadly they removed it long time ago.
About a “gamifying aspect”, if you mean the leaderboards, I personally try to ignore them altogether, and they are a bother only when they start getting in my way, one of the problems I have e.g. with Duolinguo.
And about lack of comments, haven’t seen any on Airlearn’s side, so in this aspect, I’d think they’re in a similar level.
I personally hate the leaderboards on duolingo and try to ignore them entirely as well. But i like the daily “missions” and XP gathering + streak system. Does airlearn have those?
Ohh that’s neat! Which program, if I may ask? Always looking for new resources to learn!
Airlearn,
com.unacademy.antonioon Google Play.Thanks for sharing, I’ll have to dive into this (looking for possible duolingo alternatives)

“Missions”, aside from the main lessons? None that I have found. Now, it has both an streak system and an exp system.
Ah sorry I think the real term is Daily Quests, like “do 3 perfect lessons today” or “earn 50xp today”.
But having an XP and streak system already sounds good! Will have to check it out. Thanks for all the info Auster!
