It didn't read to me like you were being like, no, I'm telling you, it doesn't do anything for you.
And I came to the conclusion the other day, because I went down a rabbit hole of just language learning in general stuff.
And I did come to that conclusion like, oh, this is completely not worth my time.
It wasn't even, I do think I have come across some people like shitting on Duo on going down this rabbit hole, but it actually wasn't anything specifically about Duo.
It was more about what I need to be doing and realizing like Duo doesn't accomplish any of those things for me.
But I'm in a really tricky spot here because I'm at like 956 day streak.
So the other thing, the only thing I feel like it's decent for is like learning vocab.
But one thing that I've been doing lately is I've been trying to look at stuff that are of my interests.
And when there's a word I don't know, I look up that word.
And then you retain those words so much more than like learning what the dumb fucking words in Duolingo is.
So I got this other app where I look up the words and I can save them all.
And then it quizzes me on the words that I went out of my way to look up.
And that fucking owl doesn't do that for me.
I never got to judgment walls.
Is this on Duo or are you talking about something else?
I like those little podcasts.
Oh, I thought you just mean on your drinks, people put like little things on their drinks.
