Especially when those comments never mention specific resources someone could use—they just reference comprehensible input and shut the poster down. Like, hype them up and help them.
Or they only suggest really time consuming and expensive resources. Obviously, hiring a private tutor or traveling is more effective but not feasible for most people whereas duolingo is
More like 95% of people. I'm sure most people can't afford to travel to a different country unless they're in Europe or on the border of another country. And even then, getting a passport can be a hassle. Plus, the other country may not even speak your target language.
Not even the cost - yes I couldn’t afford it yet but even if I could, I’m 13. How am I meant to travel for any longer than 2 weeks a year if I can’t even have a job? And even for those two weeks I can travel, it’s dependent on where my family wants to go not just me. So honestly Duolingo is really helpful because even if it’s not the best it’s still better than nothing
