I want to go to Italy soon. I tried duo lingo and enjoyed it at first. I was learning about trains, food etc. Perfect for travel. Then it began teaching me every animal in the zoo, talking about ice skating and other situations which most Italians don’t need to know, let alone a tourist. I have been at it for months, yet still don’t know days of the week, months or numbers. It also went very slowly in the beginning and now throws new words out in rapid fire. It is easy to guess the translations from the word bank that make the most sense. However, that does not mean that I actually “know” the material. I will not renew my subscription.
