#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
