Their lessons aint that great. They do a good job of making people feel like they’re learning a language, but I’ve never met anyone who actually learned a decent amount of Japanese that way. Maybe it’s better for people who are learning languages with similar grammar to their native tongue, like English speakers learning Spanish.
You’re probably right but I do think Duo is a good place to start. I tried starting listening to podcasts & even children’s TV in Italian. It just wasn’t helpful. I started with Duo & now have been able to understand a few simple podcasts at .25 speed. I’m hoping to get better with time but Duo definitely gets more hate than it deserves. It’s simply a fun way to get started & the rest is up to the individual
There are many other options in-between Duolingo and content designed for native speakers. Of course you’re going to have a hard time with trying to understand a language where you don’t know any of the grammar or the vocab.
How is this funny? It’s just an ad.
They stopped paying real translators and started relying on AI to do it…
Fuck them.
Don’t pay for this sloppy learning.
Also this isn’t funny, it’s just a fucking advertisement. Delete this.
