If with “ Duolingo” you mean the bird, it’s called Duo ( why nobody know it lol )

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"
@@l0calwh0re 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
i did 51% of the dutch course in like 5 minutes, may have cheated a little by being dutch tho
i completed it in 30 minutes, may have cheated a little by being dutch 😣
@@twoheartsinharryshouse594 i never thought of doing that, it's brilliant, i could win more xp by doing a course in my own language but i think it wouldn't be the same as learning lmao
Same I’m South African so I also basically cheated
There’s 72 sections…
Thanks to Duo, my german up until now is consisting of "Brot und Wasser" (bread and water) and "das Mädchen isst Käfer" (the girl eats beetles)
Ah yes the girl eats beetles
Y am i laughing
Oh sehr gut
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-
Wo sind sie im Deutsch-Kurs? (Where are you in the German course?)
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 👍🏻

Well, as long as she doesn't get Dutch, I probably won't notice it.
*A few seconds later*
Ok then, this is going to be interesting.
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, the word "deer" in English actually also used to mean "animal" before it referred to the specific animal. But not German and Dutch, they kept it as Tier and Dier.
as a dutch person this is flipping hilarious. i love your obsession with the word boterham lmao. the most dreaded lunch of every international. and as a person who has also taken random languages and trying to test out of skills, see how far i get this is also just so relatable lol. im currently learning zulu 💀
Ooo, I've seen some people say that Zulu is difficult, and some people have said that it's easy! How are you doing with it?
@@twinfettuccine it's pretty straighforward so far, for me! the vocab makes sense to me, the grammar seems pretty logical, so far, but im not that far in yet. so who knows what they're gonna throw at me! pronunciation is a bit of a mystery tho, still! but im having fun with it!

The first 2 minutes had me so hooked 😂 I’m now so excited to see how this goes
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 >_>
my duolingo just tells me "they don't love you" "he doesnt love you" "she doesnt love you" and then right after "the bear eats the boy" "the bear drinks beer" and "they are buying a bear"
Ah, Russia.
As a russian I can confirm that these sentences do represent our literature and our life for the last two month as well.
this is either the Russian course or the Norwegian course
LMAO, Duolingo is starting to get Russian phobic.
@@remussanders5365 yea its norwegian
I never knew duolingo could be this entertaining
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
"has to be romance languages"
"hope i get dutch"

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?

As someone who is Belgian and speaks fluent Dutch (my mother tongue) I just realized how hard Dutch may be for non-Dutch-speakers! 🙃 The pronounciation could also use a little bit of practice, but you're doing great! I love you so much, you give me motivation to continue my Japanese and to try other languages, such as Spanish, Chinese and Korean! 💕Keep going! You're great! 🥰

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.

@@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 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

frfr I am intrigued
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
as a dutchie, this is great to see ahahah I loved the video :)
Zonder grappen best knap om zo snel Nederlands te leren! Good job
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.
@@GarnetsWeb Also I'm learning it because I saw a Norwegian series and I liked it haha
As a dutch person, this was both hilarious and emotional to watch
Same XD

“she is a child”
“Zij is een hij”
we just went really progressive wit that statement
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
the way you went from loving the neushoorn to detesting it with every piece of you in 2 seconds sent me
i will now refer to rhinouroreses as "Nose Horn"
rhinoserouses
rhinoseri?
I checked to make sure i liked the video so many times
I learn that everyday and it really helps as someone in my family only speaks Dutch but would understand both
This was an S tier video thank you
yw 🙏
“And this, kids, is why we take our ADHD medicine”
Me, who didn’t take my adhd medicine today:
"Dutch is gonna be easy" Meanwhile her reading out "Zij"
"Zeejh?" come on its "Zai"...
"She is a he" great, wat a start to the placement test.
“this kids, is why we take our adhd medicine”
..i see where the idea to speed run a language came from now
“And a 4th japanese from my middle school weeaboo phase” *renai circulation plays in background* seems like the phase wasn’t a phase
listen... quarantine was hard on us all 😔
I literally got the ad before i even could watch this video
I’m almost convinced that there a speed run for everything
Klingon deez nuts
BEST COMMENT 👏
Why isn’t this appreciated enough 😭😭😭
Lol
@@umm199 idk
"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
Me starting video: oh interesting video
Me listens to the background music: OH! I know this one *vibes*
I legit just had an duolingo ad before this video.
