    Ive been using duolingo for a couple years now. Ive kearned the spanish labguage pretty well at this point. Can speak it casually at all. I dont think duolingo's goal is ever mastery or even useful learning. I think their goal is to give you knowledge of the subject matter and a good jumping off point for more advanced learning.

    A music course in a language app is a great idea

  • @Pencilsive
    @Pencilsive 6 місяців тому +54

    In my opinion, it’s supposed to give you an understanding of piano (and maybe other instruments, shit that’d be cool), so you understand basic concepts, rhythms, and notes. Same with the language parts of the app, it only gives you an understanding of the language, and the top priorities when learning (So when you take lessons or classes you understand some of it). Nobody has became fluent with Duolingo, and nobody will become a pianist from Duolingo, it just reinforces that skill, and they are doing that phenomenally.

      Have you really said nobody has became fluent with Duolingo?
      Sorry to break it to you, but I'm a living exemple that if you go far enough on Duolingo, you're definitely going to speak your target language fluently.
      So yes, Duolingo works, Learned English and Portuguese on Duo.
      And I must say that so far so good, it's been going quite good for me.
      Again, if you're consistent enough, you'll get good results.
      It was a weird app not qualified to teach you a language in the past maybe, but now, it's the best so far.🎉

    I think that duolingo moving into other areas is an incredible idea, but if they are going to do so they need to make their math courses and their music courses on par with their language courses, I am a beginner pianist and I skipped straight to the last level which is something I dont think i should be able to do, for their math course them teaching more advanced concepts like algerbra, geometry, or even higher level ones would be an absolute game changer for students studying.

    • @alyanahzoe

      wait... you can play any song i tell you and give me the notes, so that i can play? what about the note guide for one of my favorites: "abadas: i found the word song"? give it a try. if you have a mistake, i will say "wrong. try again!".

    It is weird, I agree. I already play piano but tried this app just for fun. The hardest part to wrap my mind around was that you can’t rest your fingers on the keys like you would on a real piano. Makes sight reading much more difficult when you’ve got to check visually for each key instead of just feeling them because your hands are already on them. Still for teaching a new student the notes, I suppose it has it’s place.

    I've been doing it and I think it was good for me to learn the basics of musical notation, something I've always wanted to learn but never have, and it inspired me to buy a real keyboard and learn to play. So, no I don't think when you're done with the course you are ready to play much of anything, but it does serve as a nice intro, much the way their math program is very basic.

  • @ElayonTriplet

    I think this could be great. As it is, there’s a lot of problems…I tested to level 70 in two days (I’m a professional musician and mediocre piano player) and only at the end of THAT was I actually presented with the song “playing along” feature which is incredibly hard on a phone. 😂 Are people supposed to be doing this on a computer keyboard where they can use more than one or two fingers at a time?? Anyway…hopefully this will gather info for a second generation of the program…

    It's a music theory course, not a piano course. The keyboard in there is just the easiest way applying/showing what you've learned.
    From what I've seen, the course is made to understand how creating music works, knowing that it isn't random notes and that there's a reason why each note is where it is.

    Wholeheartedly agree with your point about playing piano on touch screen. I was just saying to my friends, it's my least favorite part of the course. Why can't I connect a USB keyboard to this? Why isn't it on desktop? Once they add these features this will be a much more worthwhile course. Not a terrible start though!

    I dont have the update, but I saw some videos and I think that the lessons are terrible. I expected it to teach music theory like the keys and notes etc(I dont know how they are called as I have learned them in Greek) and the only things of which I saw is just the notes and the sound(of which doesnt have the hier pitch or lower pitch) not even the keys ( κλειδια in greek( Not, Fa, Sol)) it would have been cool if it caught sound from an actual intrument but at the current state, its just terrible.

      Bad? In only a year's time, I'm able to read Italian books. Ok, I don't get every word, not even close, but I get the story. And from that point, learning a language goes fast without any help from outside. It also improved the languages I already know. Not least my English, because for most languages I can't learn them on Duolingo in my own language. And it's... FUN!
