Feeling real immersed, Duolingo

Would it kill them to better represent other cultures and countries or do they just have the one set of Corporate Memphis art assets and they’re too stingy to create more

Duolingo is a bad app if you want to learn a language, any language. Some years ago they thought grammar and explained things, now it’s good only if you already know the language but don’t want to forget it.

Unpopular take on Lemmy but I feel like I’ve actually really improved on my French in the last year using Duolingo

We’re talking about real languages, not “Fr*nch”

I trust you. But when I used it, it looked more similar to those “Dictionaries” with some fixed sentences the sold back in the 80s/90s, not really an app to learn.

I bet you’re the type of guy to speak gibberish French in Paris and get mad when the locals reply in English.
