Please be patient

Our volunteers look into many questions every day; sometimes it takes them a little while to answer.

Pro tip: you can rename the thread title with `.tr <thread name>`

Make it descriptive, including relevant context, but also to the point. This way you improve your chances of getting a more relevant and specific answer.

It can be fine to get started, but you'll want to supplement with other resources

Duolingo: The Pros and Cons

Duolingo is usually helpful to retain vocabulary, short sentences, and simple concepts of grammar and syntax. It may enable you to approach your target language without much pressure and in a gamified way. Some people find that to be a great motivator.

On the other hand, Duolingo teaches some concepts badly, if at all (this may vary depending on the specific course). It generally only scratches the surface of language, and offers a pretty mechanical and dull view of it. Some learners might also find that a gamified approach of language is not beneficial to them.

For those reasons, Duolingo should not be your only learning tool, and is best used if you already have other methods and resources you can count on. If there are many things that you don't understand in your Duo lessons, chances are you need more in-depth methods for the time being. If you understand most of your lessons, you may be too advanced for it to be helpful to you.
