  As someone learning Japanese I’d recomend you not learn from duolingo

  For Japanese use genki, them quartet

  I am currently going through genki

    Renshuu is also really great if you’re willing to pay a little bit - it’s like Japanese Genki with a built-in community!

    I second that for Chinese. Use HelloChinese.

      Does that include lessons for Canto by any chance? Or just Mando?

    Can you give more detail about why you don’t like duolingo and why you do like genki?

    source

    • x4740N@lemmy.world ⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      To expand on why I don’t like duolingo it’s because you can’t structure the lessons and the material to work best for you

      Genki and quartet which I will do after genki is part of my own personalised lesson structure

      By gathering your own resources you can structure the lessons best for you

  Ce n’est pas un mème. Ce sont mes sentiments!

  • degen@midwest.social ⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    I took a few years of French forever ago. Never really understood when to use ce over il, along with all the hyphenated forms ce is pushed into.

    Personally, I always tried to translate back literally, so qu’est-ce que c’est -> what is it/this that it/this is. But I’ve also felt like this isn’t the best approach given it’s through the lens of an English speaker.

    • gregorum@lemm.ee ⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      I think ce Is formal, so I use it in that context?

  As long as you have completed your lesson the bird won’t murder your family, so you’ve got that going for you at least.

  Okay, but have you ever tried being sad even though rationally speaking everything is going super well? ( Don’t worry about me, I managed to get out of that vibe :3 )

  Not that it matters because the point comes across fine, and being hyper fixated on grammar is a form of gatekeeping, but “badly” seems weird here. It might just be an American English or regional American thing to me, but in school, the whole good/well & bad/poor thing was made pretty distinct. Good and bad were descriptors of action where well and poor were descriptors of feeling. I can do good (things) or do bad (things), but things can go well or go poorly.

  Grammar stackexchange seems to disagree with me though

  • quicksand@lemm.ee ⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    As an American, I would definitely use poorly in this context. But since it seems they’re an English speaker learning French, I think it makes sense to say badly. It’s a more direct translation for mal, the word they’re learning
