Are Duolingo developers doing everything to put off the users?

😅 First those nasty owl icons, then nasty owl animations and now those terrible lightning effects. I mean, the effect itself is impressive but as a sensory experience it's far from anythig pleasant. 🙈

Does Duolingo work? I mean does it work any better than any other computer based language acquisition tool? In my experience as a poor language student the only thing that really works is a relatively small amount of classroom learning combined with a lot of immersion in the society that speaks the target language. Anything else requires too much effort and persistence from most of us.

@ninalanyon It works with basics at most. Anything else requires other types of exercises. The exercises Duolingo offers are way too easy.
