#i downloaded duolingo two days ago and I absolutely hate it
#like i first skipped through the entire yiddish course just to see if i could
#(also apparently the yiddish word for ceiling is the same as the russian
#AND i can remember the word ceiling from my school russian like i literally havent heard it in 10 years
#i was v proud)
#then i started hebrew and it told me to start on unit 3 of 4
#but i think it was bc i wasnt familiar with some of the vocabulary
#(my hebrew vocabulary is random AS FUCK)
#(like literally comically so)
#and its SO ANNOYING
#why are the lessons always sentences that have nothing to do with each other
#(and often idiotic like there was something about cows singing at night or whatever)
#i hate the twee gamification
#i feel like most of it is like below my skill level but i genuinely cant tell
#if its bc my hebrew is that good (doubtful)
#or if its because most of these sentences would be solvable even if you spoke zero hebrew and just arranged the words
#in the only english language combination that makes sense
#also like if you havent skipped some levels you cant really choose topics?
#i have another hebrew learning app thats also really basic until you unlock the higher levels
#but there at least you can choose topics that you want to learn and get useful phrases out of that
#that are at least a bit dialogue-like/connected
#maybe its different if you start learning a language from duolingo
#but like this it feels absolutely pointless
#like even if youre done with it how do you hold a conversation
