  • of these memrise seems the best to me. no fancy animation, you have to wait for (unlike drops), it works well in browser, and gives you a lot of freedom.

    plus has the least awful/annoying free trial of all :)) (i ignored all, that wanted my credit card first.)

    i do second the notion, that flashcards really do not need to be a subscription model, anki for example is great, there are a lot more apps like it, flashcards can be realised as a simple python script even!

    really anything aside of vocab repetion is what makes these services worth it. and i guess i like the conversations feature memrise offers. (i played around with one of the big languages. i’m sure the ai features are clunkier with less popular langs?

    babble of course is amazing. really anything that pairs you with natives is s-tier.









  • i don’t think that’s true. you should be open and communicate well with new ppl in your life bc people do tend to be irritated and hurt, when you go in shutdown-mode. in my expirience. i dont know much about romantic relationships. but dont stop reaching out to people. these connections may hold you. they won’t be a magical cure. but they will give your life an anchor.

    that said. online communities are not therapy. we don’t know you. for me it helped to start to know myself (through actual therapy). usually i noticed an upcoming depression 2 weeks to late. but i found patterns and have gotten better in listening to myself. i even started to build habits. not like “i’ll change my life now” but i found a few things that stuck and that i enjoy. its not perfect. but there is some structure to my weeks. (one might say i have a hobby now).

    i hope you get out of this (at least a little). i’ve had a look outside of the cave. there is much waiting for us. even if we’ll have to go back inside from time to time.
