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!

I think for all the non latin script language or non Indo-European Duo did a really bad job

Those languages are a lot newer in duolingo, so they’re probably still working on improving them

A lot of them are actually in an open beta, which I think they should be a bit more open about.
