hahaha. I hate the sound effects even as a user. Have you picked up any of the language at least?

Yeah, it's helped me somewhat with Russian (primary reason I use it), though it's incredibly frustrating because it's wrong like 10% of the time when it comes to syntax (i.e. I send screenshots to my in-laws and they're like yeah the way you said it is fine even though it got marked wrong).

Definitely has helped with my Italian, though.

I find Duo mind numbingly boring, but I'll admit the repetition helps me internalize conjugation and grammatical structures without ever studying a chart.

I actually prefer the mechanics-heavy charted version of language learning but it's not conducive to short bursts of self-initiated learning, so duolingo is what I'm stuck with.
