[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t know, DD has been trying to learn Russian on Duolingo and it’s pretty cr@ppy (I’m a native speaker). She’s very good with languages in general so I think it’s the app. [/quote] I took about 8 years of Russian in HS and college and have used the duolingo app as a refresher. It’s not great for complicated grammar, and that’s definitely true of Russian. It’s pretty good for vocab development. I’ve also used it for Spanish and Italian where it is better because the grammar is so much simpler. [/quote] I think it’s best with grammar that’s similar to English. I’m the PP who uses it to improve my Japanese vocab/reading skills and I would never advocate for anyone using Duo to actually learn Japanese but I think it’s helpful for drilling as a supplement to real classes.[/quote] That's probably because you are an Indo-European speaker. Japanese is a completely different language.[/quote]
