  • I wanted to know the same thing so this is what my searching has brought up, specifically for Scots Gaelic as that’s what I’ve been learning.

    Speak Gaelic - Gaelic only, government funded, free

    IndyLan - for endangered European languages, made by Heriot-Watt University and EU funded, free

    Mango Languages - appears to be the closest to a Duolingo replacement. Many languages, subscription.

    Glossika - another Duo replacement however that URL doesn’t fill me with confidence that they’re not going down the same route… Subscription for most languages, endangered ones are free.

    Apart from the first Mango lesson for free and a few IndyLan lessons I’ve not tried any of these so can’t speak for their quality but thought a list might still be handy.


    1. Make a list of necessary gear before your trip, then check it off the list as you pack. This helps ensure you don’t forget anything. You can even categorise the list, so you can easily see what kit is in which pockets/dry bags.
    2. Dry bags are incredibly useful if you hike in wet weather or ford rivers. Different coloured bags can help with categorisation, for example, you know the yellow bag is fresh clothes, the green bag is camp kit, the blue bag is water filter and chlorine tablets, the red bag is electronics, etc. This makes finding stuff a piece of piss and saves rummaging.
