If you like Duolingo's style, which I honestly do (I mix it with podcasts on the road), then there's probably no close enough alternative.
If you want an open source version because of the ads, just go to your phone settings and set a "private DNS" with
dns.adguard.com. There are other options too, but I'll leave them for you to discover. This will filter out most ads on many apps and websites, such as Duolingo.This is a good advice, but telling people that this allows adguard to know every domain one visits is an important part of the advice.
Yeah, well, yes, you are giving away that information in any case, it's not like you weren't doing that before.
I think who one gives that information to matters. I have chosen to give that to my non-profit VPN host, people who doesn't know will never have the chance to chose. I think that's important. Goodbye.
