Last night i left a little rant about how #Duolingo 's lack of explanations for anything made it impossible to derive when or why you'd use some observable rules AND that it made it impossible to know if it the sentence was correct or an AI generated fuck-up.
It was Perfect fodder for "reply guys", but instead 2 folks showed why i love #Esperanto They stepped up helped. One dug out a helpful link, another explained things in detail that took time.
Bin ich eigentlich der einzige, der sich gern nen Spaß draus macht, aus diesen #Duolingo-Aufgaben mit den vorgegebenen Wörtern mehr oder weniger lustige alternative Sätze zu bauen?
Alors ça non plus, je ne sais pas trop dans quel contexte ça a du sens. Ça doit être plutôt rare quand même… en tout cas, je me suis pas sûr que ça me servir sur place 😅 #japonais#nihongo#DuoLingo
#Duolingo qui me propose une pub pour un jeu gratuit de Mah-jong spécialement développé pour les SÉNIORS. Avec des GROSSES tuiles et une GRANDE police, que même Gilbert Montagné peut la lire. Je le prends très mal. :blobcatsadlife:
Cancelled my #Duolingo subscription. Close to the end of the course, which not being one of the big, well-maintained ones (Irish), was very underwhelming. Slán, ulchabhán glas.
As fun as it can be to learn a language, just learning it with no context makes it harder to keep my interest. Add some context, however, and bam!
Human: reading new toy's instructions in a different language, visiting a foreign country and ordering food, following along in a conversation on #Duolingo, etc.
Computer: fiddling with someone's open source project that is in a language you don't know, doing a code jam for a particular framework/language, etc.
Anyone else in the fediverse take language lessons on #Duolingo ? I achieved a 2000-day streak there this past Saturday, which is the longest contiguous streak I've ever managed.
It would have been even higher than this, if not for one holiday (Christmas Day?) years ago where I forgot to complete at least one lesson, and I didn't have any Streak Freezes equipped. I've had to use a few Streak Freezes in order to preserve this streak, but for the most part I'm diligent about completing at least two lessons every day.
Salut,
Dans un projet de me remettre à l' #allemand en mode DIY j'envisage la réinstallation de #Duolingo sur mon tél mais avez vous des applis/méthodes/autres qui pourraient faire le taf ?
Des conseils de trucs à lire/écouter/regarder ?
Merci
It's always nice to cheer for people I know there. If you'd like to connect, here's my invitation link. Just let me know here that you're a Masto friend and I will follow you back.
-This is so cool and helpful!
-I’m learning so quickly!
-I can share my progress with friends! 🥰
-I’m so obsessed with my streak haha!
-I want to punt this stupid owl into the centre of the sun
Just told my family I won't be renewing our DuoLingo family subscription because I won't support their replacement of actual human workers with "AI". This explains why their quality has been declining.
I reported a few erroneous answer rejections and DuoLingo emailed that they've accepted one report as correct, but it's not my job to fix their increasingly poor software and I won't support their drive to maximize profits at all costs.
