Too much time on Duolingo(and Drops, really): Saw a sign on a truck that said BIG REUSE and I thought for a second it had something to do with a Dutch giant.

Hi JamesRedd, You suggested “Can I get a cheese and bacon omelette please” as a translation for “Ga i omled caws a bacwn, plîs?” We now accept this translation. :) Thanks for the contribution, please keep it up!- Duolingo

This was by far the fastest I’ve ever gotten one of those. Same day service. Only a matter of hours really.

Kind of like the way the new French course will ask for a synonym of the French in French.

I've just got back into iTalki and I'm really enjoying my sessions with Kozo the Translator. Just focussing on conversation rather than anything specific but it's really working out for me. (also use my referral code this shit costs real money)

One can take some sentences from Duolingo or otherwise, stick them in a (private) collection and then do listening exercises, using exactly the same IVONA/Polly voices that Duolingo uses, at least for the baker's dozen languages it is available for. In fact one can choose a voice or cycle through the voices for those languages with more than one.

I'm so disappointed in myself...this is the third time I've tried to learn Russian. First time it was cassette tapes, second time discs, that shit sits on my floor mocking me. Now I got Duolingo...then shit goes all to hell and the next thing you know Duolingo is reminding me what a FAILURE I am for missing my last session. I'm so frustrated, I want to learn something other than "here is the mashed potato" before I die.
And maybe I should capitulate and finally learn Irish.

Been messing around going slowly with Irish for a while - so slowly that none of it is sticking - actually committing now and building a streak. Supplementing with Anki, reading a grammar, whatever else comes my way.

There is no Finnish on Duolingo but I have done the Duolingo Hungarian course, in both directions, and have now been working the Drops Hungarian. I have to say that there are lot of ways in which the Drops approach seems superior, which hopefully I can elaborate on soon.
― Three Hundred Pounds of Almond Joy (James Redd and the Blecchs), Friday, 3 April 2020 03:36 (four years ago) link
Whoa. Drops just added Estonian. I guess their model makes it faster to add new languages.

...and my Lenten Language Quarantine is over, so think I will take a peek at the Estonian course. Seems that the drops founders are Hungarians who live in Estonia.

So Drops now has Farsi, which Glossika also has and Farsi seems to be easier than Arabic so...
― Together Again Or (James Redd and the Blecchs), Sunday, 26 April 2020 00:48 (four years ago) link
Sorry, krakow, I am a bit of a Duo dilettante.
Farsi is indo-european and the word order isnt too difficult to comprehend for English speakers iirc

The script seems a little more, um, open, than its Arabic counterpart, or am I imagining that.
