The problem is that it isn't natural speech

Realistically who are you going to say that to in the language you are learning

While you can use textbooks to help it it better to mostly learn from natural speech / conversation because no one speaks in text book speech

Idk what in the world you're talking about. This is a totally relatable sentence that I say all the time. You're the weird one here if you don't access to 615 giraffes. Sheesh.

That's the best part, when you meet people of the language you are learning you can say the odd quirky shit from Duolingo and they'll absolutely love it. What, you are an apple?? A dog is wearing three pullovers?? More relevant for beginners who can say a handful of stuff but can't yet hold a proper conversation.

It's not like Duolingo is just randomly generated sentences that make no sense either. They are carefully sprinkled in to break up the routine and make it a bit of fun.
