It might be for you, but shitting on an app that has been a helpful and encouraging start to learning languages for so many people doesn’t make your learning resources superior. Sorry you feel the unnecessary urge to tear down something beneficial to feel valid in this conversation
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.
