      Well, the answer has lots of numbers. So it checks out, I guess?

    I believe these are put in place to actually test your knowledge of the vocabulary and grammar, vs just being good at memorizing the handful of simple conversational samples.

      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.

    I still love that in the Norwegian course you have to translate something along the lines of ‘I am sitting on the floor crying and eating bread’.

    From someone who is learning Japanese (日本語)

    Go and find a online community dedicated to the language your learning and search that community for guides and recommendations because it will get you way better resources than what duolingo can offer

    And you can structure the way you teach yourself that language to make it easier to learn

    It’s better to find resources that you can adapt to your way of learning as it’s better and easier
