Ah yes the girl eats beetles
Y am i laughing

Thanks to duo, my German corses are “ich bin eine Maus” ( I am a mouse ) and “du bist eine Maus“ ( you are a mouse). I’m concerned-

Man imagine trying to do this after the hearts system was introduced that would be painful
Omg it WOULD! When we’re they introduced tho? I’ve used duolingo since November and I’ve always had hearts
They still don’t have the hearts system in the web app
You can also disable the heart system by creating a "classroom" on Duolingo and inviting yourself as a student
I jokingly added Klingon (and then deleted it) but I saw that it was going to give me unlimited hearts WITHOUT Duolingo Plus. 😭😅
dammit so you’re telling me there was a time BEFORE that?? crap. i wish they had kept it without the damn hearts cause my anxiety goes 📈📉📈📉📈📉📈 even if i know the right answer. also, sometimes there’s a mistake in the system and you lose a heart and like…no
and the duolingo plus is way too expensive >_>
I do Dutch in Duolingo, some of the sentences I got were:
“Excuse me I am an apple”
“The apple speaks a bit of Dutch”
“No, you are not an apple!”
“The woman eats cheese”
“I am a banana”
Edit: So i’m doing reverse Duolingo (learning English in Dutch) and I got the sentence: “Seriously, why are magicians so obsessed with handkerchiefs?”
I'm learning german now and the sentences are the same 😂
"excuseer mij, ik ben een appel."
"de appel spreekt een beetje nederlands."
"nee, je bent geen appel!"
"de vrouw eet kaas"
"ik ben een banaan"
@@d0miniishka I'm learning dutch to get a girl i know, the thing is, she doesn't know me. I know this is going to be tough.
I GOT THOSE EXACT SAME ONES BRO
I got "excuse me I am an apple" too but in japanese, "I do not throw friends", "The woman has a conversation with an animal in korean", and "there is no park in the ocean" in korean, "The bear is eating him" in Norwegian (Norwegian duolingo is BRUTAL) and "the cat is reading the newspaper" in catalan
Beginning: "I am hoping for German... that would be easiest"
Me, a German: "She thinks that german is easy." *wheeze*
Lmao I’m trying to learn German right now and let me tell you, it’s much harder than I thought it would be too
i want to learn german for school. any tips?
@@SnoBlobber prob learn like the masculine feminine and neuter system, like for example ‘a’ can translate into 3 things. Eine (F) Einen (M) Ein (N). Once you learn the whole German system, everything else is a piece of cake.
@@SnoBlobber I'd say:
-Learn the most common words first
-TH-cam Videos with the most common sentences
-Don't focus too much in grammar (In the beginning)
-Try to read as many beginner Texts as you want/need
-Watch Movies and Series in German
--At first with subtitles in your Native language. (That way you get more familiar with the sound of the language)
--Move to german Subs ONLY once completly comfortable with reading
-Play games in a german Server where you can write with multiple people. There are sometimes guys who are interrested in texting with foreigners
-Finding people to speak with would be perfect
-If you do find someone don't worry too much about using the right grammar and articles. It is most important to get comfortable with speaking a language that is completly foreign to you.
If you want more tips, or someone to talk to right now, I am here.
Viel Erfolg 👍🏻

@@bigmanrui3503 great! Thanks for the tip!
German nativ speaker here! I can relate to this so much! I hate German spelling with my whole heart
Props to you for trying to learn such a difficult language!
As a German this was weirdly satisfying, cause our languages are so similar. It's like talking in a really strong accent...
yeah its a bit like berlnineisch or kölsch
@@LaserKatze Would have thought of Swabian or Bavarian but yours are good examples too:)
I’m currently taking a college elementary German class and some (very few) words, I was able to somewhat deduced what the sentence was. Like woman, boy, child. I have a freund who’s from the Netherlands and it’s kinda fun talking to her in a language that is similar to hers. I wish there more languages available to learn where I am tho.
@@A.The.H. Wow, that sounds cool. I always appreciate it when people study new languages (especially German is often called hard). I'm just to dumb for grammer to be honest. That's why I stick with English^^
Where are you from? And which languages would you like to learn?^^
@@oppenbot1717 ah yeah, but any language can be hard. Especially if the language you’re learning is not one of major languages around you. I‘m from Southern California. Tbh there’s not a whole lot of languages to learn/available to learn. There’s Spanish, (mainly) Mandarin Chinese, some French, very little Italian, very little Korean (got to go somewhere like LA for that.) some Japanese (where I’m in there’s only 1 or 2 classes available.) and one German class from only two out of three colleges around me and we’re losing the better professor. Dutch isn’t available, Polish, Russian, any other language (at the community college level that is) is not available to learn. I’ve taken Spanish a long time ago I need to come back and learn again. (There’s a lot of Spanish speakers where I‘m at.) I need to continue learning ASL because my sister is Deaf.
Right now, I‘m just taking Deutsch (German) and having fun with it. Spanish was very easy for me. German is a very close 2nd place to it being hard to learn. ASL was pretty damn hard due to me having to use my non dominant hand (right hand is kinda damaged.) and the fact it‘s solely visual. Non sign language based languages are rather easier to learn in general. I‘ve tried learning Japanese and maybe I‘ll take an official class, but it‘s very difficult to me. Dutch seems similar so I kinda want to pick it up as well. I want to learn German mainly that I want to experience a different country and culture from my own and hopefully live there. Also wouldn’t hurt to be the translator for when my family and I go on a family trip over there.
What about you? What’s your journey with languages?
Edit: since you mentioned you speak German, how do you think of English grammar or speaking/writing it?

She was so happy when she got Dutch randomly…
… then you realize it’s one of hardest languages when it comes to grammar and pronunciation
Lol, it isn’t at all. It’s the closest language to English ever.
Dutch is very similar to english, same grammar for the most part, and some words straight up pronounced the same and look the same
@@jos7006 It is. The grammar and pronounce is difficult for people who doesn’t speak Dutch
Hahaha this
@@jos7006 it is easy to understand and read, but it is actually harder to pronounce and understand the grammar. The words are similar enough, especially when read. But to actually remember and pronounce correctly and knowing the conjugations and grammar, it is more difficult than people realize.
Fun fact: Deer used to be the generic word for animal in middle English then the Latin word for animal "animus" was used for foreign and exotic animals. Deer was then shortened to mean woodland critters and then some time later it replaced the word that old English used for deer. Hart
Same thing happened with apple. All fruit used to be called apples. There's a reason why modern depictions of the forbidden fruit are all apples.
"Appelsina" in dutch, the word for orange, literally meant "Apple from China". It's the same in a few other languages.
@@YuliaLinderoth the dutch word for orange is "sinaasappel"
@@benteelgersma9303 Ah yes sorry I forgot to add it was historical dutch. But etymologically it's the same. :)
Adding some extra info just for fun:
"De sinaasappel komt oorspronkelijk uit China (in de oude vorm: Sina), waar ook de naam naar verwijst. In het Vroegnieuwnederlands komt "appel sina" voor, in het Nieuwnederlands "appelsien".[2][3]
Vanuit Nederland werd vanaf de 18e eeuw de sinaasappel verspreid over Noord-Europa. Hierdoor komt het dat de Nederlandse naam appelsien door andere talen overgenomen is zoals in het Duits ("Apfelsine"), het Zweeds ("apelsin"), en Deens en Noors ("appelsin"). In andere talen zoals Roemeens ("Portocal"), Turks ("Portakal"), Bulgaars ("портокал" portokal), Grieks ("πορτοκάλι" portokáli), Perzisch ("پرتقال" porteqāl) en Arabisch ("برتقال" burtuqāl) wordt de vrucht naar Portugal genoemd, dat in de 15e eeuw als eerste land sinaasappels uit China importeerde."
@@benteelgersma9303 Sinasappel
Sinas=Sino=China. So if you translate that is literally means China's Apple.

I'm learning japanese on duolingo and all it makes me learn is " water and rice " ... 💀
duolingo is great for starting a language. its free, and has good motivations (the leaderboard and streak make adhd brain go brrr). but its notoriously known for teaching you up to second grade level in that language (if youre lucky, some just go to first). i'm learning japanese, because i heard its hard and i wanted that challenge, and its interesting to be able to listen to or watch something japanese and pick out parts of sentences. i think its wonderful to get interested in a language with it, since ive tried learning russian and korean and gave up both times and am happy i didnt spend money on those courses
learning a language is all about resources, and most people prefer free ones because we all poor. so my advice, once you get done with a duolingo course, is looking into language classes for children (ie, if youre learning japanese, look for things that japanese children use in japan) and looking at childrens books. no one is born knowing a language, everyone has to learn it, so why not learn it the way you learned your native language
tbh i dont think thats a good idea
Im an Indian and i speak 3 languages including english
Im on C1 in English which according to your method should have taken me not less than 14 years and about 5 yers for my second native language (which is waayyy too much)
im learning german and i believe once you finish the duo course just jump into reading and speaking, it provides you with enough grammar that will push you into a preety sweet level without having to read kiddie poems and illustrated witch stories
After the very beginner stage (atleast in Japanese), Duolingo’s effectiveness decreases.
@@sl4y8r76 just a question, how did you learn all those languages. And how do you plan on learning German. I really want to learn a language and don’t know where to begin.
@@unusedflint6066 See tbh i did not have to learn hindi and bengali (my native languages) bcoz my parents spoke bengali and everyone in my surroundings spoke hindi
And for English it is something that is encouraged to speak and all my textbooks, novels are in english but i kinda learned English not from school but from the tons of bookd that my parents bought me and i am looking at the same approach for german as well
Idk your motive to learn a lang is but ill tell you this, if you want to learn it for smthng that is important like a job or to study there dont open duo or memrise or any other app for that matter, pay for classes bcoz theyll teach you a lot more in less time
Other than that if you're a casual learner like me there are many approaches you can take
There are apps like duo and memrise based on the system that they teach you phrases and a little grammar which you keep applying outside the apps in newspaper and zines
Lingq on the other hand does not teach you grammar and teaches you thru phrases exclusively
If you want to learn german there is yt series called helft harry lernt deutsch by DW along with tons of resources on their site
Ps- all big countries usually have lang courses on their sites
In short before starting a routine checkout all the apps and resources that you find, try for atleast 2 weeks how you're going to learn bfore starting learning
@@unusedflint6066 korean. korean. korean.
In case anyone is wondering, the reason Duolingo sometimes makes you translate super weird phrases like “the apples are walking now” is to test the translator if they’re actually paying attention of what they’re writing
Esperanto would've been a good one to do. It's a constructed language specifically designed to make sense and be easy to learn. Knowing some Spanish helps a little too!
Yes! I'm currently learning it
@@dhiibvulk9036 Can you learn it on Duolingo?
@@merelheringa7553 yup!
i personally believe learning esperanto (or any other “made up” language) is basically a waste of time idk 🤔
@@mkon29 All languages are made up my guy
Duolingo is my favorite language learning app. But Duolingo alone isn’t enough. With Spanish I watched Spanish tv shows, and listened to and sang Spanish songs. That helped a lot. Then I was working as a temp in a largely Hispanic community. That was the best. I was confident enough to speak Spanish to them and made them happy just to know I was trying. But with Duolingo paid version you can sample the other languages. It make me hate Irish. Now I never want to have to learn Irish
yeah that's a good point! I took four years of spanish in high school, but only really learned when I had a class where everyone & the teacher only spoke spanish for a year loll 😅immersion is definitely the best way to learn a language, I agree!!
As an Irish person who has been trying to learn irish for around 9-10 years.I fully agree with your last statement 😭
i speak irish fluentky but most of my friends are swedish and british so they have no idea what tf im saying when i soeak irish

Duolingo’s new motto should be
“Duolingo: Let’s fuckin do this”
Norwegian or Swedish would actually be even more advantageous to get compared to German and Dutch; especially Norwegian. They share the same grammar as English bar a few minor exceptions and also share lots of vocabulary whilst not conjugating verbs. It's extremely easy to pick up and fast. I was able to complete the very final checkpoint with only the first 20 skills complete due to how easy the language is
Yeah, I'm learning Norwegian and it's pretty easy
Exactly, Norwegian is pretty easy. The main thing I struggle with is pronouncing KJ, SK, and SKJ. If you're an English speaker, these basically sound the same. And we can't forget the notorious "ø.." All of that aside, it's such an underrated language to learn, even Norwegians will ask you right off the bat "do you have Norwegian relatives?" Because they think that would be someone's only reason to learn the language.
@@GarnetsWeb ø it's like œ
@@livig4639 Yea it's quite similar, but with a different mouth shape. It's going to take practice in order for me to nail it.

I never knew duolingo could be this entertaining
As someone who’s learning German im surprised how much of that placement test I actually understood, the two languages really are that similar
it's really similair in writing just not grammar and the pronunciation
As a German it's so funny how much I don't understand just bc the video is in English...
I speak Afrikaans and I could understand all of it.
yeah same
I'm learning german in school, and while they dutch and german are very similar, it's easy to underestimate it. there are a lot of 'false friends', and I mean a lot of them

..i see where the idea to speed run a language came from now
Was it just for me that when I clicked on the video an advertisement for duolingo appeared? I was a little scared, I haven't installed duolingo yet so I'm using the translator
"Animal" is a Latin word and is used in romance (Latin) languages, English has a lot of influence from Latin languages despite being considered a Germanic language
"Tier" is a Germanic word and in most Germanic languages, "animal" is something along those lines
Example: German Tier
Dutch dier
Danish dyr
Swedish djur
Norwegian dyr
English animal
That's why
Yeah, and 'deer' is the English cognate for 'Tier' etc... It also used to mean 'animal' in older English.
English is always hanging out with Latin kids
Honestly feel like I could speed speedrun Dutch, just because Afrikaans is my second language and Afrikaans is the oppression child of Dutch
Same but I speak Spanish so I’d speedrun Italian
Free language lol.
@@Alonzi. Aren’t Spanish and French very similar as well? Or am I mixing those up
@@sunsetskye483 no they’re about as similar as Spanish and English. They share some traits but they’re still entirely different languages. It’s the same with Italian but Spanish and Italian are a lot more closely related. If I went to Italy and started speaking Spanish they’d understand 75% of what I was saying
Yeah fair- I'm Dutch myself and I can also read Afrikaans
This was an S tier video thank you

Your humor is powerfully awesome and funny
Your pronunciation was pretty good from the very start. Those voice samples really helped. As a native Dutch person, it was a joy to watch you fly through this course. No cringy accent
“And this, kids, is why we take our ADHD medicine”
Me, who didn’t take my adhd medicine today:
She was one away from Latin. Now THAT would have been interesting.
Duolingo: Say “The neushoorn is strong”
Twin fettuccine: The neushoorn is strong but not stronger than me because-
Duolingo: now say “I am weak”
That killed me 💀

i confidently said "HEY FRANCIS" when i just saw france from hetalia.
I love your voice and your energy.I’d definitely watch you playing a game.
does Geronimo Stilton World count as a game 🤔 I feel like it does 👀✨
as someone who is learning through duolingo and is mega impatient, seeing you use your mouse for everything is upsetting. the multiple choice ones have numbers attached, so you can hit a number instead of moving your mouse. you can hit enter to go to the next page, finish the lesson, and start a new lesson as long as its in the same group thing. but i also dont have a mouse, i have a touchpad, plus i type everything instead of the multiple choice sentence ones
bro, ur not gonna remember a thing 😅
@@birdeynamnam using a mouse doesnt help u remember lol
@@birdeynamnam what is the correlation between using a mouse and efficiently learning a language- I am confusion
I always cringe when people say "Duolingo doesnt teach you anything, it's just flashcards." because they never read the "tips" which are literally above the "Start lesson" button. And those tips tell you everything you need to know about the lesson such as grammar etc.
Didnt knew about that
@@Vitorruy1 I did will know that
Honestly it depends on which device you use... For mobile app users that typically isn't the case: for example, only some German lessons have tips for mobile users too and the number drops to 0 tips when it comes to Russian.
Exactly, but I mean, even if you don't have the tips (as Russian, for example), it's still a good plataform to teach you the basic. I'm really, really in the basics of Russian (the level where you still don't get some of their letters - I mean, I can't understand this "Ч"), my native language is Portuguese and I'm good in English. I'm really struggling to learn some things, and Duolingo is being helpful to me.
The fact is, you can't just use the Duolingo, the same way you can't just do a course or just watch series. You must do everything and be consistent!
I decided I want to learn Russian and Korean at the same time, just to see where I get, and I tell you, you can't start learning Korean in Duolingo without knowing the Hangul first (their crazy alphabet) - a thing Duolingo doesn't teach you in a good way (They only teach some syllables and that's it). That's why I will first learn through videos on TH-cam and then I will add the Duo bird.
This! Also, you can disable the flashcards and enable keyboard, so you have to write everything yourself. That teaches you a hell of a lot more.
i literally clicked on the video and a duolingo ad popped up i swear to god-😭
As someone who has had two years of Russian lessons (and counting), the alphabet wasn't hard for me to get. Once I realized the Russian E is pronounced ye instead of eh (like in English) it was a breeze. I understood and could read Russian words fairly well by my fourth lesson. :)
* laughs in Serbian *
Hey, I'm proud of your progress! Thanks for even attempting to learn our, pretty difficult, language!
*laughs in fluent Russian*
(I'm Russian)
Приветик
When I was “learning” Russian on duolingo one of the first sentences they thought me was “dad this is not my engine”
As a native dutch person, I found this very entertaining to watch. Your pronunciation is pretty good
Me, thinking it's probably going to be fine:
Her: says *EH-PAN-YOLL*
Me: Oh she's done for.
"I earned so much xp"
*Laughing with 20,000 xp in a day*
How
I have no idea how some people could gain that much xp in a day legally, but some managed an xp count as close as that nevertheless. I just made the 20,000 xp in a day as a joke.
@@dominicervig i got like 6000 xp in a day after completing the placement test in my native language
3:35 "Zij is een hij" Is an actual Dutch tv program! It means "She is a he" and its about the lives of eight trans people and their experiences with their transitions! Great show, would recommend 💕
*writes down*
im trans and im learning dutch im gonna watch it lol
@@raini7130 that's so cool definitely do that!
I'm a bit late but where can I watch it ?? It seems pretty interesting and I'd love to watch it as I started to learn Dutch and want to move there
thats nice✨ imma watch it
after watching some of this video, I went to Duolingo, and started learning some Dutch, and I am excited to see how much I can learn.
oooo good luck!! I'm sure it'll be fun!
curious to see if you managed to keep it up or if you ended up dropping it
Me too
And how did it go?
Pretty good! I know how to speak a bit of Dutch. But I haven't kept up with it as much as I'd like but it's still a work in progress! 😅😁
“she is a child”
“Zij is een hij”
we just went really progressive wit that statement
Not me laughing at 3 am when she said German would be easy cause it’s so similar to English. As a native German speaker I can confidently say that is NOT the case.
I just imagine her opening the German course and Duo hits her with "Wenn weichen Weichen Weichen weichen, weichen weichen Weichen Weichen."
The editing style makes this video 10x more enjoyable. Good job!
the second she said “kind” the way she did, i just burst out laughing
This was so fun to watch! I got inspired to study too, thank you
Is it actually physically possible to be THIS UNDERRATED- This def looks like it took a lot of effort
Frrr
Fr, this channel and Livakivi are the most underrated channels imo.
The way they said "of course I'm also trying to avoid fucking Klingon- what the fuck why is this language here someone please get rid of it," has me dying. These Klingon jokes are fucking gold, I'm crying X'D
She didn't just call the Cyrillic alphabet russian💀
listen... this was before I started learning Russian on Duolingo 😭🤚 I am so sorry; I know the alphabet is used for a ton of languages now!!
@@twinfettuccine And it wasn't even invented in Russia, it was invented in Bulgaria!
6:00 "we drinken water en we eaten eice " duolingo spitting out some bars
honestly I'm so invested in this, you should do this again
Can we just appreciate how good and well the video is AND SHE ONLY GOT 19 SUBSCRIBERS!??
aw tysm !

“Some of these aren’t even real languages. High Valyrian? Klingon? *French?!*”
Do not compare High Valyrian and Klingon to the god damn French, that’s an insult to the former 2
Know your place. Frenchs were building castles for hundreds of years while America didn't even exist.
didn't know i needed this comment in my life
Gurl you should have a million and a half subscribers now I LOOOVEEEE YOUUUUU
Klingon deez nuts
BEST COMMENT 👏
Why isn’t this appreciated enough 😭😭😭
Lol
@@jupiter_424 idk
Duolingo has a grammar explanation page for most modules, it just happens to be slightly hidden now, you have to click the 'Tips' button.
So with that in mind, yes, you can learn how to speak a language with it, just don't expect to get to a C2 level. Realistically, Duolingo can get you to around B1 level.
Btw, for the sake of speedrunning, each module has a button with a key which gives you a test that once finished you can skip the whole thing rather than having to do however many tests you must to finish it... Or you could have gone straight to the checkpoint without even doing anything before.
Lol not B1 level, more like A2 at best. Even with the more developed courses like Spanish or French, upon finishing the course, the learner will still be A2 level.
That said, Duolingo will be an aid in letting you to understand native content.
@@Reforming_LL I learned German mostly through Duolingo and I'm around the B1 level.
To be fair, it's not only just flash cards. Before you finish each tier you have this type of quiz where you're going to translate multiple sentences without guide of course.
"restaurants nearby"
"dinner recipes"
"wallpaper"
"find my phone"
"news"
I can relate to her search history 😔
it was a new google account spare me 😭🤚 though its not any better now... "random number generator" "translate" "google translate" "kpop" "dutch english translate"
You absolutely deserved this algorithm blessing
i read the title as "Trying to Seduce Duolingo in a Random Language" lmfao
This was a hilarious and creative video. Seriously one of the few times I’ve laughed at a youtube video (in a good way, I promise.) Please keep it up.
