Babbel treats language learning like adult education, not a video game.
The structured ten-minute lessons and live tutor add-on make Babbel feel less like Duolingo's owl and more like a community-college night class on your phone.

Duolingo on iPhone is no longer a language app.
Chess, Music, and an AI tutor named Lily now share the home screen with Spanish. The owl is building a curriculum company, and the iOS app is where the experiment lives.

Norstedts Swedish-English on DioDict 3 is the reference shelf, shrunk to a phone.
A licensed Norstedts Swedish↔English database for SELVAS AI's DioDict 3 dictionary engine. Old-school lexicography on a Galaxy Store shelf that mostly doesn't carry it.

TEDICT turns TED Talks into the most disciplined English drill on the Galaxy Store.
Dictation practice built on real TED Talks — slower, harder, and more honest than most language-learning apps. The LITE tier is enough to know whether the method clicks.

Vivid Collection Irregular Verbs is a narrow, useful drill for Russian-speaking English learners.
A single-purpose flashcard trainer for the 150-or-so English irregular verbs. Built for a Russian audience and shaped around that one job.

Duolingo became a great game and a worse language app.
The owl earned its hundreds of millions of users through gamification that worked. Now the gamification is the product, and the AI pivot has stretched the experience further from what made it useful in the first place.
