    A lot of people complain about the different voices on Duolingo but I actually like them because it helps you listen to a variety of different voices, pitches, speeds and moods etc When I practice my listening skills in other languages I would get so used to certain speakers that when I heard a completely new speaker I would have trouble understanding them because I'm not used to the way they talk xD

    Hey Nate, if you make a profile and scroll all the way down, there is the “ultimate“ test you can take which is much harder and if you complete that test you basically complete the whole course and you get the Duolingo trophy, it also takes about 5-10 minutes just like this one

    • @buhdahto

      Well, there can be a lot of ambiguity in languages. Duolingo's own forums is filled with natives arguing over how something is supposed to be said, depending on their regional preferences, multiple accepted grammar variations and so on.
      I don't know enough Spanish to comment on the Spanish lessons on Duolingo, but yeah, for some other languages even natives can't pass all the lessons on first attempt because some lessons might expect a very rigid, formal, book correct response that nobody would actually use in real life. And vice versa. Sometimes they use an idiom, or some cultural refence to create a rather incorrect way of saying something.

    Hi! A lot of rules that you mentioned in this video, to me and to my friend are obvious because we’re from Italy. For example the fact that the adjective is after the noun to us it’s normal because spanish and italian have the same latin origin, so it’s kinda funny seeing you explain to english people these rules. Cool video though😃

    @zackv3957 Před 2 lety

    The thing is, is Duo teaches you the Spanish of Spain. When I tried to apply my Spanish knowledge to coworkers who are Spanish, they sometimes laughed or corrected me. Thats because my coworkers are Guatemalan, Puerto Rican and Mexican. For instance, I used "enojado" for angry and my coworker asked me what I was talking about, then told me the right thing to say was "enfadado". Also, early into Spanish I was having a laugh with them because "comprendo" isn't something often used. He told me verbatim "only gringos say comprendo", Its "entiendo"." Which is another good one to know. And my favorite is Duo teaches you say "sombrero" for hat, that one still confuses me. Because doing simple searches doesn't help, but the Spanish people I know say something else and find it funny to say sombrero because what a sombrero actually is culturally. Also also, putting "Yo or tu" at the beginning of everything you say makes you sound not as good and not as natural. Saying "no sey" is better than "yo no sey"

      That one in the example sounded more like “llevar” (to take with you). You can say tomar (to take, also to drink), or agarrar (to grab). Coger is not an innuendo in every country in Latam, only in very few of them. They’ll still understand what you mean and won’t make fun if it unless they’re 13.

    Great video!
    As others have mentioned, the app has room for improvement, the constant use of personal pronouns sounds very unnatural to us native speakers, and it's not a minor mistake (redundancy).
    E.g.: (yo) como, (ellos) quedan, (nosotros) vamos, etc.
    To me, it's an indicative of how an English speaking person would teach Spanish, and that's probably how the app was developed as well.
    Also, translating usually as "usualmente", even though grammatically correct, is not always right for the context.
    Implicit subject it's a wonderful feature of the language and every person learning Spanish should strive mastering it.
    Again, great video but Duolingo could be better!
