Is there any open-source project that serves the same purpose of Duolingo that can be self-hosted?

Or perhaps a self-hosteable webapp i could add the words myself from curated sources on the internet to then do quizzes on it?

Anki ?
Anki is amazing, but it’s not self hosted without some effort.
github.com/LuckyTurtleDev/docker-images/…/anki
start with env var sync_user1=username:password or something like that
change server url in anki desktop or ankidroid to what you started in docker
done
That seems pretty straightforward if you have experience with that stuff, I don’t have that experience.

This is how experience gained if you don’t have mentor, the only way to gain experience in that case is FAFO
Then maybe you aren’t qualified to call something difficult to self-host, because those instructions are very basic
25 or so years ago, I learnt Esperanto (my first second language) by chatting on the Internet. I’d have two windows open - one with the IRC client, and the other with a terminal and a shell script that would grep a txt file with consistent formatting. “esp esperantoVerbPrefix/” or “esp noun,” or “esp affix-” would typically return the correct result in a split second. Thanks to the simple grammar (that I had quickly memorized), I could hold conversations in near real time as a result.
I wish I could have learnt my other languages as easily.

Mi estas lerni espéranto kun duolingo ekde unu kaj duono kaj me ne estas tre bona .
Ha, mia samideano! Tre bon’!
Dankon, mi provas.
Inspired by xkcd’s thing explainer I generated a list of how often words appeared in subtitles on opensubtitles for my target language.
I whipped those into a database, added manual translation for the top-1000 and started quizzing myself with a tiny php script.
It was more fun to code than to actually quiz myself. I think I played the top-100 before I got bored.

Maybe something like this?
github.com/simjanos-dev/LinguaCafe
This is the answer
+1 for LinguaCafe. It’s amazing, it replaces another proprietary app called LingQ
Not self-hosted but Language Transfer is pretty awesome.

This is cool. Thanks.
Welcome!
Not self hosted but look at your local library, I am in the US and my library has Mango Languages for free, and Duolingo does not seem to be the recommended way to really learn a new language.
anki has a self hostable sync server, i am hosting it right now and works very well
I made a PHP-based one a while ago before Duolingo offered Swahili. It probably needs a little upgrading, ha. A cool project and you can do it for most things. Oh plus it’s raw PHP so snappy as heck you youngins. github.com/ryanchausse/githeri
