The quality of duolingo has gone down massively in the past few years as they have done lay-offs, they don’t even have anyone checking the feedback coming from users any-more.
the courses themselves are worse too, designed more to stretch out app usage rather than teach more. I used to recommend duolingo as a good starter on learning a language, but it’s just so bad now that I won’t. And it seems to be a direct result of layoffs.

I did the Latin course last year and was unpleasantly surprised by how low quality znd even low quantity it was. Guess I’ll try Babbel next.
babbel is much worse
