Andrew: Possibly a conversational interface device like an Amazon Echo might be a better path. There's pretty much no option but the audio interface for Alexa Skills (or the Google equivalents). So, there's no mixing of screen and audio content, at least not yet. Those days are coming, of course, but for now it's all audio all the way with my Alexa Skills for German news in slow German (which is almost slow enough for me).

Re: Accessibility of duolingo or similar software on iPhone
I stopped using DuoLingo after my trip last May, but in the year prior to that it was constantly getting better for me to use. Especially with Braille support. Around Jan 2019 they put in features that made keyboard input switch languages based on if the answer was supposed to be in Hebrew or English. I also saw general progress in the advertising screens being less troublesome. When I first was using DuoLingo, when I got a spinner to get a “prize” I couldn’t activate it with VoiceOVer, and when I received an advertisement, I would just wait a day to use the app again, or click on No more ads and then click on “No Thanks” for the option to pay $5/month to get no ads.

Accessibility of duolingo or similar software on iPhone
Hi, I was wondering whether duolingo or any other languages study app might be accessible with voiceover? In particular, I’m interested in learning Mandarin Chinese.
