my brother took the duolingo spanish course for ~600 days and maxed everything out. he also took 3 years of spanish in school. *he still doesn't know any spanish*
I as well took 3 years of spanish in school but can barely form simple sentences And yet just a few months of duolingo has taught me more german than my 3 years of school had taught me spanish
There was lore, in the stories they are recurrent characters and it followed some kind of continuity. Although the community lost track of it a while ago.
I love luodingo, it starts to haunt me if there are only 4 hours until i lose my streak, so i keep on learning cool languages and mostly do not lose my liver
I didn't do my russian lessons for 2 days, then it taught me the word "blood" (кровь) and in the next exercise I needed to say "our blood" (наша кровь)
I've been working through Russian with Duolingo. And, some of the phrases seem to be, well, spot on. Here are some examples. "It's not my problem." "She has no father." "The child does not have a mom." "Children's Orphanage" I'm glad Duolingo has picked up on some of the key cultural issues of Russia. My streak is 63 days. Спасибо за видео!
@@Xpurple Sounds nice! And what is your Russian level now, if it's not a secret?😃I'm a Russian-English-Ukrainian speaker so I become really excited when I hear people speaking my native languages💫
@@feminino2_6pinguino : I'm still on level one, but I'm going slow with it. I've also taken the test for Ukrainian on Dulingo, and scored something along the lines of "Rusty". The two languages are somewhat similar and that helps. One of my favorite things are the little animated vidoes where people tell life stories. There are a number of Russian and Ukrainian channels that I follow.
I dont know if they are still there, but Duolingo had a creepy KGB phrase: Do you know anything about her/him? Now, you have two people who will make you disappear!
4:12 This reminds one one of the most insane sentences i've seen on Duolingo. It was "I'm the one who killed him, but I'll never confess." in french, from Lin.
Everybody knows Luodingo changes it's politics with the language you coose to learn, the Spanish class for example absolutely prepares you to lead a popular uprising in Latin-America.
Duolingo is a lot more useful when used as a supplement, it really just helps me keep up with the vocab for my target language but that doesn’t mean I can completely ignore the other parts of learning. If you really want to learn your language you need to above all write and talk to other speakers. Reading and watching movies is fun too.
I actually once went on a few dates with a girl that added me on Duolingo. We knew eachother beforehand but had lost contact. It never really went anywhere but we do still congratulate each others streaks.
My streak just passed 5 years (Italian), I think today was around 1850 days, and I would say I can read at a child level and don't speak it at all. Actually found this channel in a search for a better way. I did ask for a gluten free cookie in Italian once, and received it, so I must have said it right. That's my extent of interacting with an Italian "IRL"
I now have a 477 streak in Duolingo, I already speedrunned the french course(for Spanish speakers, not as long as the English one), and I'm doing German heavily, while I do a ton more of languages for the long run 😅. It's not a perfect app, but for it's accessibility and being free, Its good enough for me to acquire vocab and a decent understanding of the languages I'm learning, that and I love the characters, I'd wish they added more regional representation, or even some sort of cosmetic dlc for them.
Not only am I Hispanic, have taken Duolingo multiple times in my life, have a mother and sister who’s fluent in Spanish, AND any language class I took was Spanish, I only know the bare minimum of Spanish.
I've been on Luodingo for 30 days and have a 30 day streak. Im using it to refresh my French, which I took in school right up to Grade 13 (including the regular Grade 13 course and a literature course), got excellent marks from beginning to end, and still didn't have the confidence to actually speak out loud. I used to be able to read quite well, and I can understand, but speaking is my sticking point. Believe it or not, Luodingo is a help in this regard because I don't havecto embarrass myself in front of a real person. I know I'm going to have to go beyond the app if I want to be fluent, but for now, it's what I need.
I'm also learning German, because it's my heritage language (86% German, according to 23 & Me), and as is typical, I only knew the swear words. Now I know how to say, "Brot und wasser, bitte." An important phrase to learn, as I've heard that in a more advanced lesson, they encourage you to break into houses through the window...
I'm pretty sure 2:19 was Norwegian (maybe Danish because I heard they are quite similar in writing). Also my current (and best) strike is 343, and most of it is Norwegian (one time I did a few lessons in my native Russian). And I'm gonna say again that your Russian is very good!
you have played the most atroucious prank on me in my whole life, because someone slamed the door and the laptop was having an error, besides you caught me off of guard and i had my guard down, furthermore my heart is about to get out of my body and i almost had a heart attack. in the end there was nothing benhind me and i am relieved since i felt gooseboomps a few moments ago.
my best lingoduo streak was like 44. I used it for a month and half in preparation for my trip to Mexico (first time leaving the country and I was going alone). I failed Spanish until I my Mexican ex who then instantly turned me into an A+ student.
I’m up to a 1319 day streak right now (with a handful of freezes used over the years shhh) and currently focusing on Hawaiian. One of my favorite random phrases I got years ago when I was trying to learn Swedish was “Myran tycker om spindeln”. It’s not even that funny, but it’s just always stuck with me.
3:01 Well duolingo probably gonna be at my door because i didn't do my lessons(I had to much school work duo pls only take my brother) but i know a person who has a 986 day streak
I got a 291 day duolingo streak and then ragequit because the new update kinda sucked and then only recently just started using it again. It seems a bit better now, I now have a 6 day streak.
Best streak was 730 days. They dropped the path update right after I finished the Russian course and a week before I was supposed to hit my two year mark, so I finished everything up and haven't been back since.
My Favorite Catchphrasse That Get You Back Do Luodingo/Duolingo Depending In The Language You Are Learning (From Least Favorite To Most Favorite (I Like All Of Them (They Are Really Funny To Me))) Are: 12. Korean Or Never Be Seen 11. Dutch Or The Crutch 10. German You Vermin 9. Czech Or Your Neck 8. Portuguese Or The Squeeze 7. Latin Or Be Flattened 6. Finnish Or Be Finished 5. French Or The Trench 4. Italian Or The Battalion 3. Greek Or Your Teeth 2. Japanese Or Broken Knees 1. Spanish Or Vanish
4:40 as a Vietnamese, I can confirm that this man does not have "a near-native accent". He clearly struggled with both sentences he tried to say in vietnamese. This "ultra-gigachad-polyglot" does NOT know EVERY language known to man. This also shows that he is lying that he can speak this difficult language and lied to the people who don't know. But now you know now. You're welcome.
"Mein Opa liebt meinen Mann" actually meand "My grandpa loves my husband", which makes it IMMEDIATELY 2000% more WTF. Tho, note that in German, it can mean the same thing as in English as well, "Love" as in a positive familial affection. But still. I would not really use "liebt", maybe "mag" (like).
i started my duo profile this january and i have 202 days streak, to checkout my English and now i am "learning" Spanish and France, but i began to doubt the app, because i am a brazilian who make an English course in school and Spanish was easy, but France is almost impossible just with the Duolingo lessons .
2:48 It's not pronounced men-ga-pa, but me-nga-pa. In Indonesian, we don't just use the sound 'ng' only for ending a syllable like in English, but also for starting a syllable. Other words that use 'ng' as a syllable starter include: mengasah, ingin, pengawal. Try to pronounce them, it's fun
I see your depressed goth girl Lily, and I raise you my Zari. Behold!! The transcendent waifu Whose least interesting feature is that she's actually thick, and doesn't need to be photoshoped. You may now bow in awe of her Radiant personality.
