@@holve11 I got to the end of unit 3 and now I have to learn Katakana to progress. I'm not going to tell you how long my streak is, but I'll admit that saying Hello, good evening, I'm American and I want sushi and green tea as I'm looking for the train station to find a cool lawyer and a nice doctor for literal WEEKS is super fun ^^ I find that most of the time Ive started to be able to recognize the characters now though..
@Zabiru- THAT IS SO FREAKING RELATABLEEE I mean I swear, those good lawyer-nice doctor-cool teacher ones are just annoying😭 And then they ask where the convenience store is, as if there’s a cool teacher that we can find at the convenience store- I mean I’m definitely not creating the Duolingo sentence lore lol
The allergy katakana. I can't. Reminds me when I studied Japanese at Uni, we had to give a presentation on something important to us, and I did it on this white tiger plush that you could put in the microwave. So there I am, furiously trying to find out how you say microwave in Japanese (it's denjirenji), and I ask my sensei about it, and she is just like "nobody Japanese says that, most wouldn't even know what you meant... JUST SAY MICROWAVE WITH A JAPANESE ACCENT"......... I. FUCKING. DIED. MICROWAVEUU. MICROFUCKINGWAVEU. How I got through that presentation. Didn't help that I'd told my friends and we all collectively died and I could see them quietly laughing as I said it.
@@gigitrix best part of Japanese - the loan words. Means a not insignificant amount of the time you can be a tiny bit racist and still be sort of correct haha
It's good to know that when Lucy does something right, she occasionally turns into an excited monkey. Excellent work from the cringe demon and kudos to the editor for making this video a solid 9.5/10! (Lucy caused half a point for 7:43, making me cry over here)
Can confirm about how weird the sentances can be. My wife is Dutch, so I started using Duolingo to learn Dutch, and even she was thrown by some of the examples they were trying to teach. More than once she flat out said "noone says that!" or "that's not how you would say that!".
I started learning with Duolingo and I find it's best when paired with other learning programs. As an absolutelyb basic learner up Japanese, I have been using Tofugu and WaniKani for the bulk of my learning, and Duo as a gamified reinforcer to keep me motivated. Definitely not going to become proficient if you JUST use Duo, but it's not a bad supplement.
At first I was gonna comment that I never thought I'd see a Lucy Pyre stream highlight where one of her chat members said something more _c u r s e d_ than the vTuber herself, but then I watched the rest the of the video... (regardless, 日本語上手ですね)
I wasn't expecting for Lucy to actually be good at Duolingo Japanese I though it'd be like basic stuff and she went all the way to the end and somehow pieced everything together! Maybe I should go back and try to 100% to one up her XD
My Duolingo streak is about 200 days but Duo also tells me about all my friends and my mom's streak is, I kid you not, 1,543 days. My favorite on the "strange phrases" list is Neko ga kawaiisugite, watashitachi wa rikon shimashita yo. Translated out to We got divorced because my cat was too cute.
I tried duolingo for a while. It's awful for Japanese, and probably every other Asian language. It's set up to only allow 1 real right answer, but due to the nature of kanji, there are multiple. The particles allow even more permutations if you consider how different courses explain が/は. The straw that broke the camel's back for me was when the only Tuesday Duo would accept was 火よう日. Yes, it would NOT accept かようび or even the more common 火曜日. Also chronically irritated me over how americanised it was, e.g. the word fall; they want 秋 (Autumn), my instinct is to go for 落ちる.
> The straw that broke the camel's back for me was when the only Tuesday Duo would accept was 火よう日. Addendum: I have a extensions on, that I can hover over Japanese vocab and it gives me a translation. It obviously knew 火曜日 or かようび , but not 火よう日. I can understand the idea of only showing kanji that you would recognize, but if you're going to teach days of the week, then you might as well teach 曜 too.
Honestly this sounds like a fundamental flaw in their application and is very unfortunate to hear. It wiuld be much better if they accepted any correct variation but suggested the one you are currently learning
@@calvinwilson3617 Maybe things have improved since February 2019, but I'm not holding my breath. They seem to have shut off their forums so I'm not sure where to inquire.
I'll be honest, this is the first time I have ever heard of Duolingo. Lucy just successfully advertised Duolingo to at least 1 person.... sponsor her now?
When the princess of hell studies I am here to jeer and mock. Bravo Lucy. This is the best Xmas gift I got since my dad gave me coal instead of beatings.
Tfw lucy says she recognizes the name kanji and still picks a different answer 🤣 you had it! For thise who dont know, kanjis represent *ideas* which are combined to make words, so name&____ would almost certainly be name&(card or something) which is apparently business card
That's one of those things that works in theory, but half the time it really makes no sense. The second kanji in 'business card' is 'stab'. It's name stab. Not sure why. But even weirder is the kanji for carrot/ginseng is 人参. Individually those kanji mean person and participate. Shit's wack.
I'd heard of Duolingo but never thought to actually try it. I went and started the Japanese course from the very first unit. BTW, I've been working hard to learn Karate and would love to one day visit one of the dojos in Okinawa, and it would help if I had at least a passing understanding of the language beforehand.
I've been hoping that using the owl would make me used to the more common words and grammar in Japanese. Now if I'd kept up the habit AND MAYBE GOT MY JP KEYBOARD THING TO WORK I could have confirmed or denied this.
Lol yeah, there is or was an option to type. I learned a bit. But Asian languages are hard to learn on an app. But after 1 year of Spanish. I can say I have definitely learned quite a bit. Still a beginner though. =op
I had a super long streak going in Japanese on Duolingo, then I happened to miss a few days and lost the streak, and haven't touched it since xD Murdered all motivation
im learning norwegian since im not degenerate enough to live the true weeb dream, so i have to pick the next best thing :( currentely im on chapter 6 of 111 and it took me god knows how many hours to get those bascics down. but hey, at least i can say bjornen sykler 🐻🚴 to be fair, i feel like its a good kickstarter since you will learn some basics nevertheless.
