  • Whilst I sourced some of these myself, a big ol thanks for the help from Twitter @DuolingoStrange for the rest. I don't know how that Twitter user's sanity is robust enough to look through these crazy phrases every goddamn day, good luck to em.

    1:59 Love is blind, but the neighbour ain't (El amor es ciego, pero el vecino no) is an actual proverbial phrase in spanish. It means that the lovers may not see the toxic traits or red flags that their couples may have because they are in love, but people outside the relationship can see them more objectively because their judgement is not affected by the feeling of afection, thus why it is a good idea to look for advice from friends or people outside of the relationship

    The silly and weird sentences are very deliberate. They are something you are extremely unlikely to hear out in the wild so it trains you to listen to each word and actually comprehend what is being said rather than just guessing the sentence based on what it's most likely to be saying.

      That's pretty tame and normal for Latin. When I was learning Latin in high school the first complex sentence we learned how to translate was "The horse killed the farmer with arms." or "Equis argricolam cum armis necat." I was able to say "I will kill the gods" before "hello my name is" when learning Latin because those words were more useful.

    I love this so much. I am a professional online language teacher and for years my learners asked me if I liked Duolingo. Finally I caved and tried it so at least I can say, This is not going to teach you to *converse* but you may learn to speak a little and definitely read and understand some spoken language. And then people gripe about these demented phrases because they are not practical. But if you understand the underlying mechanics and grammar, you can cobble together a lot.
    In Ukrainian, when you learn the inevitable animals (cat, dog, cow, pig, horse, mouse, bird), they throw in elephant for some reason.
    Dutch Duolingo is quite paranoid, giving a feeling of being watched and asking how many locks are enough.
    ...is Duolingo making the weird sentences less common? I really do not see a lot of interesting ones these days. Then again, I often maintain my streak just with a music lesson.
