   I speak extremely limited Spanish but I’d like to be more conversational with the Venezuelan immigrants who come to my door looking for work. Apart from Google Translate, what apps should I try?

     @randometc I've used Duolingo and Memrise. Both are good!

     @evan I’m think more for like “what should I use to help us communicate tomorrow”.

     @randometc oh that's great! I haven't tried any of the LLM tools for in-person translation. Good luck!

     @randometc I just tried it with the ChatGPT app. It seemed pretty good!

     @randometc unfortunately Google doesn't think it's safe to let precious Bard technology fall into Canadian hands, so I can't test that one.
