People, there is an opensource alternative just waiting for your contributions https://librelingo.app/

As far as I LOVE this kind of thing, people really should stop using Libre something for their versions. Sounds weird
Why? It's just Spanish for "free". And it's become pretty much of a standard to represent FOSS.
I know! I'm Brazilian and it's almost the same as here, "livre". It's not a real problem, just a thing I don't like. Too many consonants
Any languages besides Spanish planned?
Basque AFAIK, but it's one dude. He's working on making it possible to contribute language courses without his help or much technical knowledge.
Basically, a lot of the core code is done, what's missing is a nice UI for learning and language course editor, because at the moment it's just a bunch of files.
