      I’ve been using it for a while and it’s gotten really bad. Sentences are grammatically incorrect in my native language that I am supposed to trabslate to. So if e.g. the exercise is to translate from new language to my native language, the correct answer is marked as false and instead I have to type a sentence that’s wrong in my language.

      Also the sentences you practice with have gotten really absurd.

        Damn, I’ve been avoiding it, good to see that was a good decision (also, a language learning discord server I’m in has a channel for Duolingo help that’s basically just “don’t use Duolingo” lol)

          I mean it has nsver been really useful to learn a language. You learn no grammar rules, no long texts or dialogues. I just used it for vocabulary training which it was ok for.
