Days and Words | Stop PRETENDING that Duolingo works. @daysandwords | Uploaded November 2023 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
You can learn a language with Duolingo, they said. I am not convinced, and I'll share why.
Grab yourself a language course - sometimes they're on special:

Re: Evan's response to this video.
I might get to it eventually. I've only watched the first 7 minutes and already there are lots of mistakes to deal with, so it could take a while. If you've come here to tell me what a douchebag I am, you should actually watch my video. You might find Evan to be, umm, shall we say... unreliable, in his version of events.
Videos are often released up to a week early to members of the TimTam Cartel (channel members). Membership also comes with longer and alternative cuts of some videos and some other little goodies. Join here:

TIMESTAMPS:
00:00 Duolingo told us that it works
01:58 An analogy for the effectiveness of Duolingo
04:00 How I accelerated my Spanish learning
05:19 Evan Edinger, the Duolingo OG
09:58 Duolingo is hopelessly slow
13:09 Spanish Duolingo is pointless
15:08 Why do we still use it?
17:25 What language learning really is
22:28 Why people are upset with Duolingo
24:24 Don't Despair
Duolingo... Who'd ever have thought we'd end up here?
I know this was a rough one guys, thanks for watching.
This part is here to show people who correct my use of "Lo quiero".
Lo quiero is what I say at the end of every video. It's like the YouTuber who says "Hey guy" at the start of his videos, despite it not being correct. I know it's "wrong", but it's right because it's what I intend to say (and often people forget one of its meanings, which would be "I love you" but in a formal context.) It's a reference to a film that I watched in Spanish 50 times, thus essentially memorising the Spanish script for.
