I'm looking for an app or website to help my so improve her English.

We looked at Duolingo earlier (as I've used it before for learning a bit of Greek) but it does not support English to English courses. This is a problem as our native language is as obscure as it gets.

Do you have any recommendations? It would be awesome if the service was as gamelike as Duolingo.

This is my first post on Lemmy, I hope I'm not in the wrong community.

Well now I'm intrigued by what your native language could be.

I thought I shouldn't doxx myself so much, but whatever. Our native language is Bulgarian.

@alokir@lemmy.world (is that how I tag people?)

I got a notification so I guess tagging works.

I wouldn't call Bulgarian obscure, I expected a minority language like Mansi or Breton.

You're right. When you put it like that, calling it obscure sounds like an exaggeration. Though it's probably one of the least spoken Slavic languages.

I was surprised Duolingo doesn't have it supported, so I just checked. Apparently I can learn Klingon and High Valerian, but not Bulgarian 🤷
