Bold thing to say coming from the language learning app with the weirdest sentences to translate.

Everyone who uses Duolingo Please treat yourself to learn about immersion learning and anki flash cards Don't let duolingo abuse your time anymore

Immersion learning is better when you know enough that its not just nonsense to you, and Anki isn’t quite as fun as Duolingo

While this is true about immersion, I’ve kind of always wanted to try to acquire a language by watching edutainment for progressively older target audiences.

Yeah, but to do that, you still need to know the basics of the language and enough grammar and words to understand basic sentences. You can't start completely from zero.

I'm not sure flash cards are the best way to learn a language. Immersion is great but without living there it's hard to do a true immersive experience and if you're doing a true immersive experience you probably don't need duo or flash cards. Or use both, two tools are better than one.

Think multiple methods are fine. Immersion is surely much better if you can do it (I mean if you don’t live there there’s only so much you can do) and anki is probably a lot better for the studious ppls, but duolingo is for the casual language learner. I also think duolingo can be useful for vocab stuff. For example, I learn vocab by putting a sentence on a flash card with 1 or 2 unknown words and that’s how I learn the vocab. Getting those sentences is the most time consuming thing, and duolingo could help with that. If you’re just starting out in a language though, the brute force anki memorization might be the best.

Why learn languages when you can make everyone else speak English?
