@pirrka Which ones are you using and would recommend for language learning?

As another note about Deepl I forgot to mention, context and depending on how your sentence is structured can change how it's translated quite a bit more than on Google translate too.

To be honest, all models feel the same, but the "bigger" ones tend to over-explain a lot. I found Perplexity's own model to be quite good at translation and explaining the syntax, morphology, and grammar. In general, even as "old" a model as GPT-3.5 is fine. I have to verify every word anyway, and there are tasks at which all models are universally bad, such as giving me a breakdown of grammar cases for a particular noun

Looking for a Slovenian school textbook — I'm trying to pick up Slovenian, and so far the resources are really limited. I'm familiar with the language to the point where I can tell a direction or show what hurts, but not enough to really flex the vocabulary. I'm mostly missing on the fundamentals: cardinal and ordinal countables, noun and adjective declensions, conditional form of verb, in general morphology and syntax So far my approach was a combination of consuming whatever I could find…
