That’s super interesting and I totally believe it!
I have a lot of issues with Duolingo and did think about the free advertising and the fact that they’ve started to use more AI—wouldn’t have taken it too personally if you had been throwing shade. While I don’t pay for it, I just don’t know an alternative I can use in the same way 😕
Busuu is much better than duo from my experience lately. And pimsleur is better than both. Busuu actually teaches you what’s going on, where duo just gives you words over and over again and hopes you figure out the difference. It’s been really frustrating cause duo seemed good up until like day 60 for me.
That’s a good pitch. I took French in high school so I’ve been benefitting from what I remember of grammar from that after many years without touching the subject. However I’m confident that it’d be basically useless for me if I was starting a new language from scratch.
Like, duo is fine for vocab, but honestly it doesn’t teach some things that are very necessary, and there are no ways to actually learn those things in the app. Both busuu and pimsleur have extra training and explanations of stuff.
