I think you should check out Language Transfer . Not as many languages as DuoLingo, and some of them are only introductory courses, but completely free and -- more important -- far, far better. I'm a native English speaker, and I have learned French, German, Sesotho, and Japanese, but LT's Spanish program was the most effective I've ever done.

One of the languages they list is Ingles. I've never heard of it and every search just returns results as if I had typed "English" or was looking for a store of that name.

I'm monolingual English, but it looks somehow related to Spanish.

Do you know?

It's a course in basic English for Spanish speakers. The same system, but allowing Spanish speakers to use the knowledge they already have to communicate in English.

Interesting. Thanks.
