yesterday
Yesterday in university, we had a discussion about the “Duolingo” app. A friend of mine said “Duo can’t teach you a language, it’s just a game which shows you a picture and words”. Another group mate agreed with him and said ”Duo tries to include too many language aspects: listening, writing and speaking. But we got good alternatives for each of the aspects.”
I disagreed with them because it should not be perfect. Duo is a game - yes and it’s a perk. And it’s pretty simple for me to spend just 15 minutes a day for a game. Other aspects of language is important - listening to podcasts or movies is a base of understanding and improvement. But i believe that the gamification and repetitiveness of mobile apps is important . At least it works with my ADHD brain

Pretty good, just a few grammatical errors.

A friend of mine said, “Duo can’t teach you a language, i. It’s just a game whichthat shows you a picture and words”.”
Relative pronouns are difficult even for lifelong English speakers. I believe we use “which” when we’ve already mentioned multiple things and we want to discern between them.

Duo is a game -, yes, and ithat’s a perk.
And it’s pretty simple game that is easy for me to spend just 15 minutes a day for a gameon.
Some English speakers will say it’s bad to end a sentence with a preposition, like I do here, but most English speakers don’t care!
Other aspects of language isare important -: listening to podcasts or movies iscan be a base of understanding and improvement.

The word “repetitiveness” has connotations of boredom or annoyance.
At least it works withDuolingo works for me and my ADHD brain, at least.

I have ADHD too! I like using Duolingo for “maintenance” practice: being reminded of words I haven’t seen in a while. But I think it’s most useful for European languages. I hate Duolingo’s Japanese course!
