A website can't be only for ios or android, since it's a website, you can reach it from anywhere.
I'd recommend you to try either interpals or mylanguageexchange.com

Χωρίς να το θέλεις, θα βλέπεις εμένα
Και τα μάτια σου θα ‘ναι θλιμμένα
Όταν θα ξυπνάς στον ύπνο σου
Χωρίς να το θέλεις, θα σκέφτεσαι εμένα
Και θα νιώθεις μεγάλο κενό

I used Duo Lingo to learn english, but they also offer Turkish and something else I think.
And that, is why you shouldn't do this.

They have a lot of stuff but they are, well, not the best thing to learn from.

Hello!
If you need a place where you can practice your language with native speakers or with someonw who also learns languages, then interpals would be a good choice if it not be so dead nowadays.
Maybe something has changed now, but a year ago it was almost dead with very very low online per day.
Other apps to try are dongle, hellotalk. Also you can try omegle but it is more a random chat with tags-based search. There were lots of sexual adds, spam and etc, but i found a very interesting person there and we were talking a lot during an year.

If you are interested in websites which aimed to language learning, then yes, duolingo, give it a try.
It has very good course for english beginers written in russian, all my friends tried it and it works.
Regarding hungarian duolingo sucks, has lots of mistakes, wrong recommendations and even grammar fuckups. @ArcticMoon knows, because she helps me in learning hungarian.

If needed i can search for other sites made for language learning, but i suppose that all of them nowadays are more visual than text-based, so to find something blind-friendly is very difficult.

Or, else, you can find books for beginers and learn with them, at the same time practicing and asking for help from native speakers. It is harder, but gives more profit later.

Yes, the english course which tries to teach hungarian on duolingo simply sucks.
If you exactly want to talk with native speakers, I'd recommend mylanguageexchange.com. As far as I'm aware, it's still pretty active. I know I've already recommended it in this topic, the only thing I forgot to mention is the fact that if you want to write a person yourself, you need a thing called gold membership there which you need to buy every year.

Or use facebook groups related to language exchange.
I know that such groups exist for english, russian, hungarian, possibly other languages exist too.

Or, there's the Coffee Break podcasts if you're into that kind of thing. I'm currently listening to Coffee Break Swedish.

Thank You.
So, for Duolingo, lot of things were changed there, but those 'flashcard' ideas are not good for motivation to learn new languages for the blind people.
Nextly, I sometimes use Lingohut and previously It was 50 languages (or Book2)

It isn't really flash cards anymore. I use IOS for it and it is completely accessessable. For the picture ones just click the thing and listen to the word and compare it to the pictures word.
