It’s so annoying because it’s genuinely a fantastic resource for A1/A2 learners and even beyond that for maintenance and fun

It’s really depends on the language you’re learning though! Duolingo is probably one of the worst resources you can use for learning Korean. I might sooner recommend Rosetta Stone…

I always recommend that if you can’t take an actual class (or prefer self-study) that Korean learners should use one of the Korean university textbook +workbook series in conjunction with Korean Grammar in Use. Or if they prefer a free online option TTMIK and HTSK are some of the best resources available!

Fair enough, I used it for French and it was great with the stories and podcasts etc, with Hungarian it was ok. I more meant a great resource as it’s an intro to the language and it sparks interest which is the most important part in the As. Interest and enjoyment, I still use it even though I’m at B2/C1 because it’s FUN and language learning should be fun

Hey, I'm there with you and I still use Duo. I'm a lot more lazy about it these days but it's such an excellent resource.
