Re: "Yiddish and Shelta (the Cant) — anyone know where it would..."
@requiem: Oh, it's complete shit in the free version, because you get distracting commercials in-between excercises, and you only get 3 errors and have to restart.
The paid version is well worth it -- no error penalty, no ads.
There is usually a free trial, or try code APRILFOOLS2024 (google duolingo coupons). They sometimes run 1/2 price promos, but the annual cost is not very much, compared to a single lesson with a real person.

Yiddish and Shelta (the Cant) — anyone know where it would be possible to start with these languages? I speak a bit of German so I am hoping Yiddish wouldn't be entirely foreign to me and I am quite fascinated by it; it would open up a new world to me. As for Shelta / Traveller's Cant - again there is a fascination, and it would actually come quite useful to me in my setting. Any hints?
