It is free. But there's this feature called the incubator, where if you speak language X for e.g., you can write an application in that language and then another one saying the same thing in English. Once they get enough contributors/applications and demand for the language they pick some people to build the course.

There are 2 people working on Haitian Creole

Is that place a good place to learn a language? How effective is it?

It's really good imo, get's everything stuck in your head. They have a quite a few languages now as well, Swahili will be the first African language to be launched on the sites (in a few weeks).

Learning a language takes a long ass time. You can't learn it from a website it requires immersion.

True, but with some of the languages on there, the site actually does get you quite far, although not fluency.

I had it on my phone for a bit and whilst taking a language course. I deleted it and unsubscribed from the website after some time because I wasn't really using it.

Last year I found this other website that pairs you up with people around the world depending on which languages you and your partner want to learn. It's a bit like skype, but only for languages. A woman in St. Petersburg taught me a fair bit of Russian and I taught her basic English.

I'd tell you the website, but I'd qarxis myself because I'm the only Somali on there who speaks the languages I've listed
