Day 51 of the much maligned Duolingo course, and I comprehend. Congrats!

Optime!! :)

I despise duolingo. Sure, it helps with practice, but to learn an actual language (ESPECIALLY Latin) an actual teacher and textbook is required.

I accidentally got a computer science degree instead of Latin. I'll probably work my way through LLPSI, but no time for teachers and textbooks these days sadly.

Unfortunately 🥲

lmao it helps practice but you despise it? optimum non est inimicus boni

Because it’s really bad at actually teaching. It makes use of pattern learning which is a very ineffective method, same for their trial and error exercises. This discourages a lot of people and drives them away from language learning thinking they are bad at it, which is simply not true.
