    Happy second anniversary to the first speedrun! Duolingo's new update is a bit controversial, so this was a good test! You can witness the real-time emotional damage this speedrun caused me...
    I am not affiliated with Duo the Owl in any way. Luckily, my family remains safe and sound because I maintain my streak!!

      Or hunt down the abundant Dutch views by continuing in languages in which she's already made progress. You know if she includes "Dutch" or "The Netherlands" in the title, the algorithm will push it out to all the Dutchies who will respond by flooding the comments section with G E K O L O N I S E E R D.

    Looking at other comments here, it seems that Duo got rid of the labels for each lesson (e.g., Objects, Past Tense 3, etc.) and the grammar tips that go with each lesson. I think that’s a terrible move. I love how it is (or was) organized the old way and I study all the grammar tips along the way. The tips are important to me. 😢

      @Sophie As an advanced learner... the old designed sucked for me. It was limiting and redudant and the new design is more efficient even if it's less fun. But that might also be how you use it. For me, it's more fun and I like that the learning is more efficient for remembering what I've covered. It's also more holistic. It might force us on a path, but it's the best path for learning through the app. imo. you don't have to agree. But they aren't just throwing things at the wall and hoping for the best. they have a research department.

    The reason why it is so linear now is that now EVERYTHING is mixed into the path, from practices, to stories, to brand new lessons.
    Also, the reason why it is eerily similar looking to mobile games like Candy Crush is merely an attempt to make it look more fun, at least, that's what it looks like to my understanding. The new look may also just be an attempt to market it more towards mobile game players.

      What makes you think that? I assumed it assumed it would be pretty doable, though that comes from a native speaker. I feel like the difficulty is mostly the weirdass expressions that don't translate well into other languages but native speakers use a lot.

    As a native Romanian speaker, this was so fun to see! The “â” and “î” sound the same and make the sound like the e in “eww” but not as in “bee” “tree” (closer to the top of your mouth, more like the instinctive sound). The “ă” makes a deeper uh sound like in “ugh”. “Ț” is “ts” and “ș” is “sh”. Romanian doesn’t have definite articles, so the ending of the word changes depending on if it’s masculine (-ul) or feminine (-a). A boy is “un băiat” and the boy is “băiatul,” while a girl/the girl is “o fată/fata.” There is also a neuter gender in Romanian where the noun accords with the masculine in the singular and the feminine in the plural. Overall, you did a good job!

    The reason it took a lot longer than the other ones is because the new path revisits old lessons as you go through, but at a harder level, so you had to do more English to Romanian exercises, while in the other speedruns, you just had to do Romanian to English most of the time.

    Not gonna lie, not the biggest fan of this update. Instead of having specific lessons for different things, it just feels like it's an entire lesson of stuff that doesn't really feel like it has a coherent connection. Probably not the right spot for this lol congrats on the speedrun.

    • @twinfettuccine
      @twinfettuccine  Рік тому +21

      No, you're definitely right! I think what Duolingo lacks the most is a clear, coherent vocab list and topic along with their lessons! I've been having so much trouble taking notes as I work on my Japanese course -- the new update threw me completely off! Things feel very disconnected and it's difficult to learn vocabulary along with the grammar they're pushing. 😔

      @Ry_weis Рік тому +10

      @@twinfettuccine Yes, definitely that too. That and the tips section is so inconsistent not only between different languages but also between the app version and the computer version. Like, I feel completely lost when doing Hebrew and Greek on the phone version because there’s no tip section, but there are tips on the computer. I understand that not all courses are equally finished, but I don’t understand why there are languages with tips on the computer but not the app. Plus the update definitely doesn’t help with the tip section at all since the units aren’t really coherent anymore lol

      For some languages that go "i eat apple, i eat bread" at first - it does. The language I'm learning right now has a surprisingly good course with everyday words and phrases included without the fever dream sentences, but it still lacks actual theory so that the twists like "actually you DON'T have to put the pronounce all the time!" and alldat won't be that surprising. I miss theory.
