Duolingo will teach the 50 most common words first, and then the precise names of all items of clothing you could think of.

And then never discuss the weather or any emotion other than happy.

But then, I don't suppose the other feelings are even a necessity when you're drinking as much and as many types of alcohol as Duolingo seems to think Turkey — a highly-regulated, 98% muslim country — goes through on the daily.

It took them forever to teach me the word for "then". But hey, at least I learned all about how to speak about cows.

I've been learning Finnish for nearly a year. The first phrase it taught me was "Sinä olet velho". I thought it was madness to teach me "You are a wizard". Like, when am I ever going to use that?!

Later that year, I was performing at a forest festival in Finland, and a guy staggered past wearing a wizard hat. The way his face lit up when I yelled "Sinä olet velho!" was priceless!

Can't wait for when I bump into someone who thought dinosaurs were pets.

If you want to learn a language, I recommend Language Transfer. It's a free app

[–] aesthelete@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Haven't heard of that, maybe I'll check it out. Duolingo doesn't seem to really be working.

"Home is where the cat is"

Got that one time.

[–] rockerface@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago

Considering birds are dinosaurs, factually not true

[–] lugal@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago

Actually 🤓 some of them were, but then the government decided to wipe all of them out and replace them with drones c/birdsarentreal c/ifitfliesitspies c/birdwatchinggoesbothways

It’s the way

Fred Flintstone disagrees.
