I used Duolingo couple months ago to start learning German.
I don't like the fact that many of the sentences they teach you are non-sense or non appliable in a real life scenario.
Plus the teaching method is very slow, the app forces you to repeat the same sentences over and over even when you go up with the levels.
I think Duolingo is useful only as an introduction to the language and then you have to stop using it if you really wanna improve and switiching to a different method

@TheMaverick The app was initially built for beginners. With the advent of AI, the company is rolling out a lot more courses, also for intermediate and more advanced learners. They started doing so for English learners as it is the most important language in the world and on the Duolingo platform. I am sure that other languages will follow over time. Did you use the free tier or the subscription? Are you still on the platform?

If you speak English, which most of us do I believe try the app Language Transfer. I've been using it for a couple weeks now and really like it. It does depend on your own discipline since there are no checks or points. But that is where all learning falls or stands with anyway, discipline and motivation

•@di_marcello Exactly. And most people don’t have discipline or intrinsic motivation. That’s what Duolingo does best. Help you or force you to build a daily habit.

@thewolfofallstreetz I agree with you there. My response was for @TheMaverick who does want to learn a language. 😆
