Do people really use this garbage for learning languages? No grammar, just full sentence memorization over and over, how retarded do you have to be spend more than 10 minutes doing this?
>>

It’s genuinely not bad for a beginner in a language as a way to just spend time with the language but probably two or three months in you shouldn’t be touching it
It’s also retardly easy and repetitive but I don’t think it’s a bad way to begin exposure to a language

Learning grammar is pointless until you know the words
Vocabulary is really all that matters
Even in languages with a lot of grammar like Russian

This and learning grammar is discouraging.
>>
>>219805021
Apps only care for how much money and screen time you spend on them. The whole point is to make you believe you are learning something.

If Russian grammar is so complex how come they all speak like cavemen when speaking English?

Nah, it's just a shitty minigame with a streak hook that oneshots normies for some reason.

>>219807708
Cause they don't have articles

>>219807656
Nobody trains grammar without also learning words. Baffling post.

>learn how to say "apple"
>яблoкo
>cool
>now learn the 5 other ways to say it
>now with plurals
>probably some other ways cause lol Slav language
>do that for every noun
OR
>just learn the damn nominative case and tackle the grammar when it comes up
Drilling a bunch of suffixes into your head is tiring and annoying

>>219805021
>Grammar
I don't even know how grammar works in French and yet I'm still capable of reading the schizophrenic post on /fr/. Acquiring vocab and learning grammar patterns through reading a ton works for me rather than constantly doing grammar drills which I'm gonna figure the second after seeing it.

no need for your silly grammar or your silly games, I just input

Learning anything is recalling. If you don't practice recall, then you won't be able to recall it in a situation.
>>
>>219810172
input practices recall, reading grammar explanations does not, so I don't know what your point is. If you're talking about output practice I prefer to wait until my comprehension is very good
>>
>>219805021
the problem is that if you look at the talk pages for the sentences a lot of them are disputed by native speakers
>>
>>219805021
It's not bad but it's a tool, not the entire toolbox

The sentences are meant to be nonsensical in some cases to help you remember. You take notes and use it as a supplement to your learning, not as a replacement to everything.

The only courses that are fully really good at getting you to a decent level outside of their mainstays are Norwegian and Scottish Gaelic funny enough

What language are you trying to learn that you don't think Duo is a good start to learning some words?
