I’m still impressed that the dorky little skits in #Duolingo manage to be funny as hell when you have to puzzle them out. “This isn’t the airport, it’s the library! Take me to the airport!”

Blue is looking like a mistake ... because I now don't know where to put the red

#Duolingo

Duolingo is getting weirder and weirder since they went all in on #ai

I stopped doing most of the lessons and just did a word a day as a keepie-up. But, er.

Araña means chandelier? Tea translated to merianda instead of té, this actually makes sense to me as a northern brit, but who else is going to think tea means snack time?

Weird words with weird uses and not in a fun way, in an ai slop kinda way.

Dear Duolingo: How do I get better at pronunciation in my new language?

- Listen attentively to tricky sounds
- Give yourself permission to speak slower
- Prioritize effective communication
- Read Aloud
- Record Yourself
- Identify Lapses
- IMPROVE
- REPEAT
-

So, I got the #Duolingo GDPR takeout yesterday. (I always find it amusing that the sites constantly say "a data takeout will take up to 30 days" and when you actually ask for the takeout it finishes in no time at all. Clear indication of how well the tech stack actually works. [cough]Reddit takeouts take over a week[cough])

It's actually pretty surprising how little data there actually is. Yeah, it has the course progress, but... doesn't really help much, now does it?

Anyway, account deletion is in progress too because I'm not going back to Duolingo. Also, it's strangely liberating when I look at my habit tracker and it now says "Language lesson" instead of "Duolingo", yay. I had an incredibly productive day yesterday and expect today to be no different.

It's been helpful but I'm a long way from competent! #duolingo

Trying #duolingo again because I can't find another good app for #norwegian. But have found some great ones for reference and vocabulary building. Right now it's really proper grammar I'm trying to learn. But it looks like Duo stripped off at least the veneer of shit from it, because you can go further a little longer. Norsk lessons in the morning over coffee, I've found, helps my mind switch into a bilingual state. So if someone messages me in Norsk, my brain is primed. #language we

Okay. I think I'm finally done with #Duolingo here. Just had my last exercise ever!

Android app is gone now! Account will be, once the data takeout finishes. I will, of course, keep studying languages - just not with Duo.

Voitto!

At first I was panicking, because I knew it was morning and time for #Duolingo, but then I realised since I'm a free tier user now I couldn't do the challenges yesterday, so my bonuses are fucked, and I don't need to worry about it any more.

Scheiß #Duolingo.

Nachdem ich wochenlang gemobbt wurde, habe ich mal eine Muttersprachlerin sprechen lassen - die Erkennung funktioniert einfach nicht. Und das bei den meisten Zahlen. Macht echt keinen Spaß so

Jaha?
My #Duolingo Norwegian Score is 98!

Anyone else learning a new #language thsse days?
