Feeling real immersed, Duolingo

Would it kill them to better represent other cultures and countries or do they just have the one set of Corporate Memphis art assets and they're too stingy to create more

I cannot find the answer / solutions to the french book Le Français Par La Méthode Nature.

Anyone any clue?

It's used as a goodbye, kinda dark and 2edgy4me but very popular among exchange students. Google didn't help

I'll start:

Might be of use to someone. Seems like they have plenty of resources in their sidebar if you don't want to talk to the commenters.

Hello! I've recently picked up learning Spanish because I work with a ton of dudes from Mexico. How much can I reasonably expect to learn from this app? I looked at their "curriculum" and it seems pretty short compared to what I think I'll need. What are some resources beyond "talk to your coworkers", that will put me on the right track?

I almost feel like English should start from scratch with spelling, There are basically no consistent rules at all. I think we should assign spelling to kindergartners who actually follow the rules of English and spell things like they should be spelled.

Quinoa -> Keen-wa

Ballet -> Baal-Eh

Design -> De-zine

etc.

If you know of any, please post them here!

Really makes me feel immersed in the Japanese language. This is a common problem with Duolingo- no matter what language you study, the material just feels American

And before you ask, no, I did not pay for the subscription, they randomly gave me three free days of Plus, or Super, or whatever it is. Imagine paying for Duolingo

I know you can't learn a language in three weeks, but let's see how I fail.

How much can I learn before my granny from Ethiopia visits?

I'm unemployed so I have time to study and I'm pretty motivated. You can often get from 0 to A1 level in a language within 100 hours of study.

I should be able to learn the writing system (it's a hard one), more than 100 words, and some amount of grammar.

Is there any good way to find like an online class or something that could recreate that experience? I do not want to try to self-teach a language, that sounds awful lol

Instead, I feel nothing, except pressure to keep it up. This it not all in vein though, as I now know how to read and write Arabic, Hindi, and Japanese. I wish I could find the motivation to keep up my Anki streak for one year.

"Emosido engañado" is a vulgar/comical contraction of "Hemos sido engañados" ("We have been fooled/cheated/duped")
