Mildly Infuriating

I checked their webesite/app, that was mentioned that all features require payment.

Do people not read about apps before using them or something? Thats so strange, if I wanted to learn a language, I would make sure that’s possible with the app before using it myself.

But is the test worth anything more than just a little ego boost and online award? Isn’t the lessons enough anyways?

Oh, it is you.

Mr "I started using Busuu yesterday:

Though I’m not sure about the inclusive words for French due to my convictions as a Christian."

You made this comment nearly 6 months ago and still to this day I think about how stupid it is. How does your Christianity feel about the inclusive words in Spanish?

"I'm getting a lot from this app, and it's really helping me, but now they want me to support them so that the app can continue to exist."

Shit people think these days.

Seen as you decided to add an edit that you were returning to Duolingo, what exactly is your goal because it certainly isn't to effective learn any language.

6 months ago you asked Lemmy for more effective alternatives to Duolingo and people gave you lots of alternatives that are a lot more effective including myself recommending Busuu and others recommending language transfer, both of which piss all over Duolingo which is utter trash.

You make so many posts on Lemmy but then rarely actually interact with them further beyond the initial drivel you spout, when you do receive advice after asking for it it seems you just ignore it anyway so what is the point?

Maybe it seems like I'm picking on you and honestly I am, purely because of things you said back in that early Duolingo thread you made, I'll just go ahead and quote another of your gems from that thread.

VanHalbgott - "Oh, there’s a new course on Busuu for French that I don’t like that deals with inclusive terms I’m probably not confortable talking about anymore since they deal with genders and sexuality.

I’m trying to be a Christian instead and not talk about those things in my faith, but that doesn’t mean I’ll be learning what is supposed to be teaching me French with weird terminology."

I hope going back to Duolingo they won't have the audacity to teach you gendered words for Spanish, how could your faith possibly deal with that!?

I hope this makes you uncomfortable to read, as uncomfortable as the first incredibles movie or the fact people use memes within the steam communities. People really are so inconsiderate and should really alter their way of being to appease you and your faith!

"I could have mastered Spanish, but thanks to a paywall I will never be mas bueno."

Your UI looks like you're using iOS. In the app store, at the bottom of the page for each app is a list of items available for purchase in the app. You can look at that list before even deciding to download anything. Sometimes the listing's are vague and just say something like "membership". In that case, for a language learning app, you can assume it is to unlock "certificates".

I'd you're looking g for another app, try Language Transfer. I've personally never used it but everybody says that it's the best

are you surprised when they tell you to pay at a check out?

Things aren’t free.

I was reading through the comments here, and I went through OPs post history.

It feels a lot like a neurodivergent person, maybe Autism of some kind. The post / questions appear weird to others, but they feel genuine. I live in a very neurodivergent home, and I kinda get it.
