I tried Duolingo for the first time this week or so and I feel like it gets unnecessary flak

As long as you understand it's meant for like 10-30 minutes a day and not hours. Also don't pay for anything. The ads are also annoying, but it's free so.

Im almost finished with my Portuguese lessons. Great for grammar and vocabulary. You have to rely on other methods for fluency.

My daughter was learning Dutch on there last summer, which was cute

DDonde · 31-35, M

@Nebula That's cool. Dutch seems fun.

Nebula · 41-45, F

@DDonde she had a Dutch friend at the time, I don't think they talk anymore.

People just like to hate. It's good for what is does esp being free

@deadgerbil hi gerbil

DDonde · 31-35, M

@deadgerbil Yeah some of the sentences are odd but it's quality for what it is.

LeahLovee · 22-25

It’s been pretty useful for me

@LeahLovee muy bien

LeahLovee · 22-25

@DDonde oui très bien, si si

CrazyMusicLover · 31-35

It's okay but there are mistakes there.

DDonde · 31-35, M

@CrazyMusicLover what language did you do for it

CrazyMusicLover · 31-35

@DDonde First Spanish and then Portuguese. I think there were just some wrong prepositions in English translation and in Portuguese there was this, which annoyed me because I lost a heart where I had to write it.

Which language you practicing?

DDonde · 31-35, M

@Nadie I'm doing Mandarin right now

wackidywack · 22-25

What language

DDonde · 31-35, M

@wackidywack I've been doing mandarin

wackidywack · 22-25

@DDonde I might try my hand at French

You can get Duolingo premium and there's no ads, no heart meter and word practice and mistakes that you can correct. I haven't yet paid for it, but I got Duolingo Super due to winning a league competition.

DDonde · 31-35, M

@basilfawlty89 The one thing that sounds interesting to me about premium is the speaking practice feature. Is that any good do you know?

basilfawlty89 · 31-35, M

@DDonde haven't tried it yet to be honest, my spelling is getting better and I've got the hang of Irish grammar and my vocabulary is building, but I'm a bit nervous to try speaking as I still have some difficulty with pronouncing some words.

CrazyMusicLover · 31-35

@basilfawlty89 I've got free premium for 3 days twice this year. It's fine but I notice it makes me slack a lot. There's some advantage to only have 5 hearts. At least I try to focus more and write down things to not make the same mistake twice.
