Duolingo/Languages Thread

Post by ashifter »

Anyone here using Duolingo or any other language learning tool? What are you learning and why?

I'm at the 5th unit of the recently revised Duolingo Japanese course, I crammed all of the kana in my head as quickly as possible before doing any of the actual lessons before the course switched over and it messed up my progress a little lmao. I want to be nihongo jouzu so I can browse Yahoo Auctions Japan and find all the $1 Wiis in junk bins at Japanese game stores

I also have the Russian course but I haven't been nearly as active on that lately FeelsBadMan

Wasn't sure if off topic or general was the right place for this lol.

Edit: fix embed fail Clueless

General is fine for this, offtopic is more for just shitposting lol. I'll move it to general.

I did the Japanese Duolingo course a few times back in 2018 when it was fairly new. Unfortunately it was fairly short back then so I ended up switching to other ways of learning. I've heard it's expanded a lot since then though.

That is awesome. It definitely has improved a lot more recently and there is a lot of content (but I will admit I am basically at the beginning of the course, having fun though!). Of course I'm always looking for as many resources as possible, I need to keep that learning streak going tf
