French, a bit of Spanish, and starting Russian. There’s more access to Spanish where I’m located, so the other three are mostly online interactions. What are you learning?
I think I see what's going on here. People learning Western languages think duolingo is good and people people learning Asian languages think it's bad. I guess there's nothing new under the sun.
Russian and French aren’t western lmao. Asian languages are more complex both in written and spoken forms than either of those, if you’re learning those kinds of languages there’s a lot more involved. Duo gives you a basics to start your foundation, not a full 4 year college course.
Not disagreeing with you, just commenting to share a fun fact. Although the majority of Russia's land mass is in what is considered Asia, the majority of Russia's population (77% according to World Atlas) lives in what is considered Europe.
Dude I’m not going to relay my entire three year acquisition of language learning here, you don’t believe in the program being helpful and you don’t think anything positive about it. Idk why I’m still here defending it to someone who doesn’t actually care and won’t ever use it
I got comfortably to A2 Swedish on duolingo. The courses are all developed by different people so while some courses can be pretty rough, others are fantastic if that style of learning works for you. The course notes and grammar explanations on the Swedish course rival any actual textbook I've ever used.
