Certainly nobody needs Duolingo to learn anything
I use duolingo every day and it's alright for vocabulary. It actually recently had some voice exercises to practice everyday conversation and it has been great as well.
The school they discuss that has guides to be the 'human' interaction between the AI learning is charging 40k-65k a year. That's for 2 hours a day of learning.
If it was better than humans, it'd be making life better not more expensive.
It is better. Better for them.
What a take.
Schools will continue to exists because education centers makes plain dense for almost any halfdecent society.
Wether the teachers are a personal ai or a single human does not change that. Schools provide way more then just “a teacher”

That's like exactly what he says, you just restated his take...
I noticed too many hallucinations in AI, We don't want to learn the wrong things. For beginners, the risk of learning the wrong thing is high and just add to confusion. I switched back to humans for most things.

the green duolingo owl has the chance to do the funniest thing
Dude just can't help himself. Gotta open his mouth and dropkick his own throat.
All because he fucked up.
I just don't know why every one of these idiots looks so damn punchable.
Because they are.
I want to learn a couple languages soon. I won't be using Duolingo to do so now.
These paint chip eating overgrown children are so detached from reality it's not even funny.
Oh don't worry, using Duolingo would've never taught you a language anyway!

I say: I can't stand the CEO of Duolingo, and his supremely punchable smirk-face.
I regret that I have no duolingo account that I can cancel.
Dude sucks

Any alternatives for learning Japanese? I have already learned about 500 words and 20 kanji.
I am using lingodeer to learn korean, but i know it also has Japanese. I was using duolingo for korean and Japanese, but the korean lessons were terrible.
I haven't worked with it myself as I'm not working on Japanese right now, but I had a recommendation recently for Satori Reader.
