will you be able to make it in the top 1% or even the 0.1% of all language learners /pol/?
>inb4 not political
if you can't at least read and understand Latin, Greek and Hebrew you can't seriously call yourself redpilled because you have no first hand access to historic information and have to rely on some jewish translator with his jewish agenda

It was just a shit experience. I learnt something atleast. It was actually my second time trying to learn Irish from duolingo and not much has changed. There isn't much good sources for Irish to learn from
I tried Latin briefly too

Duo was fine until covid when they saw how much time people had in lockdown and turned the app into a zogslop language-themed idle phone game.

I refuse to believe that anyone has learened any language even at a 5 years old child's level using this shit up.
If you send a 5 years old to go buy some groceries he's gonna have a much easier time than a duolingo bazillion years user

I'm about 12 days away from reaching 1000 days.
This is what I dislike about Duolingo. The rewards could be better for reaching milestones, free gems, and a few free days of super access are nice and all but it doesn't feel like a huge bonus or to encourage you to keep learning. I would like it if some sort of messaging service was installed too so you could actually practice with people who are learning languages .

Best way to learn at home IMO if it's the same alphabet is to get a children's book or something easy to digest, translate it and keep reading it over and over again with the translation next to you until you can understand most of it by yourself.

>>514036354
Liofa has a whole bunch of classes available as gaeilge.

Would go back to Irish myself but I have only headspace for English + one other language

>>514041158
1000 days and I bet a 4 years old native understands the language you've been ""studying"" better than you lmao.

>>514041158
>actually practice with people who are learning languages .
On their website there are some services like this (eg pay to access a tutor to practice speaking)

I can effort-post on this shit about my journey on how it went down to abyss from when I started 3 years ago to today. The change was very rapid, like the most instakike possible. tldr.
>fully AI, even new subscription tier for it (classic MBA graduate idiots)

>contents getting bigger & longer (with AI slop) = longer time to finish (might as well as forever), Obvious trick by company to keep users trapped as long as possible.
>etc. There are more horrors on this.

The most dreaded fact: most users are brainrotted tiktok zoomers that can only use phones, and jewlingo has very good shock value marketing. None of them even use PC.

At this point I only keep using it till end of this year due to sunk cost fallacy, but I found an excellent way to use it that (((corpos))) seethe:
on PC; Firefox + ublock + cheating script = Zero ads, free unlimited hearts, free unlimited 3-day subscription. Once per month, activate the free subscription to complete gold legendary units in the fastest, automated way. Also go private profile: the league is part of cancer of gamification

The Japanese one is still fine (dogshit grammar, but decent way to build up vocabularies, kanji also teaches handwriting), for now.
It's the big language like English (i don't use this), French, Spanish that get infested with incoherent AI.

>any alternatives to this flaming shitheap?
Just download an Anki card pack and cram vocab, then do a bit of grammar on the side from some other website or youtube video. When you feel like you have enough (at least the most common 1000-2000 words) try to consume books, tv shows, or movies. At first you'll only recognize a few words in sentences, maybe the gist of what they're saying. Take the words you don't know, look them up, and add them to Anki. Keep doing it until you recognize 99% of what you're hearing/reading and congratulations, you learned a language without dealing with the jew.

>>514035119 (OP)
Every relevant text from every language has been translated into English by a professional translator a hundred times over. If I choose to learn a language it is not because I need to.

I'm learning french actually

>>514041158
>I would like it if some sort of messaging service was installed too so you could actually practice with people who are learning languages .
I miss the social aspect of old Duolingo. The discussion threads under each question were really helpful.

They have made this app so bad I stopped paying for my family. I get .pdf textbooks, language workbooks from barnes & noble because your brain actually needs to write the language using fine motor mechanics if you want to learn the script (i.e. russian cursive), buy the 555 verbs big yellow book, and then have passive exposure to shows, movies, children's content on youtube, radio, and state news channels.
If you're listening 4-6 hours a day you will quickly assimilate grammar concepts from your workbook.
Fuck Duolingo

Tonal languages are an abomination.

Why bother? English is the lingua franca of our time. What's worth learning? Hebrew to pop the kike at the delicatessen?

>>514035119 (OP)
I probably already am. How would one even check such a thing?

>if you can't at least read and understand Latin
Speaking of Latin, I wish the Duolingo Latin course was longer. I completed the whole thing easily and quickly and maxed out all the things in it, and there's no new content.

>>514045333
If I were to create a new language, it would be a fart-based language. That is spoken from farts. Using our butts. The type of fart as well as how it smells dictates the word and tone used.

>>514045941
Are you the guy on /b/ talking about getting high smelling his own farts?

>>514046740
/b/ is a degenerate cancer that should die more than it already did.

I never posted there, and never will.

>>514045941
I imagine this is what it would be like if the offspring of a jew and an Indian were to invent a sub-Saharan tribal language.

>>514046853
Whereas your idea of a fart language is non-degenerate intellectual brilliance.

LanguagePod on YouTube is pretty good. Each language has its own dedicated channel and each one has a 30ish minute video that goes over very useful basic phrases and idioms. I legit learned more from watching one YouTube video over and over than I ever did with Duolingo.

There is another channel called "Ayan Academy" which reads along to old language learning books. The anon that said you need to practice reading the language is spot on.

Duolingo is a good start for people who cant find places on a map. Gets you some starter vocab but thats about it.

If you actually complete a Duolingo course, you will understand the language pretty well.

You can download the Pimsleur language packs off the internet and that paired with Duolingo will have you reading and speaking pretty well. If you pair those with a textbook or any book you will be good.

I'm using Lingua Latina per se Illustrata but I'm considering changing to another book, or reading another book simultaneously, maybe Wheelock's Latin.

you spend 10 years learning some retard language. Many native speakers wont talk to you cause you have the speaking skills of a todler and annoying accent. if they will theyll switch to english after you struggle to spit out a sentence with poor grammar

Italian/Latin are some of the easiest languages because you say what you hear and hear what you say meaning they're very pragmatic
