As part of my eventual move to Svalbard
<shhhhh
I have been spending between eight and fifteen hours a day learning Norwegian. To this end, I have decided to avail myself of Duolingo as a free resource. Would it be surprising to you that it is comprised of sentences mostly relating to:
>making sure every prime minister, doctor, astronaut, and physicist is a woman
>men in women's dresses
>gay marriage
>rainbow flags
>the plight of refugees
>the plight of immigrants
>the power of democracy
>anxiety, dread, and weakness
>inane cultural references
To make matters much worse, it is
COMPLETE TRASH
in view of all (((research))) on the fundamentals of language learning. I will not bother you with citations, but it is total, thorough garbage. It's also the #1 education app on both iOS and Android stores, and is unlikely to fall any time soon. Not only that, but it is no doubt using its data, which can only but be enormous, to build god-only-knows-what sort of pedagogical AI megabeast.
Long story quite short: Duolingo is total fucking shit, and the education system, and the support structures, from top to bottom, are only going to continue to rot our children.
APOCALYPSE NOW
If any of you anons are educators by trade and would like to share horror stories, let's do that here. God morgen og tusen takk.

Fuck sake that was *my* plan to move to Svalbard with my Danish wife.
I'm learning Danish, written it's quite similar to Norwegian but fuck it's a mumbling language.
Haven't seen much on Duolingo though I'm quite early in. The main concern about Duolingo is that it actively seeks to teach rapefugees Swedish and other European languages to speed the process of intergration. Sweden is one of the most popular course for non English speaking people.

Organized Education is a terrible thing, whether public or private. You are sending your children to learn provably wrong bullshit and what is actually true is taught with extreme gaps. Homeschool your children. Worse, your child may qualify for GATE. Perhaps even worse your child may be misdiagnosed by your nigger preschool teacher to have ADHD and then be put on such intense pills he is put into sped classes and all symptoms of being high are blamed on his false illness. I should know, both things happened to me. I will not go into the full story now but the horrors of organized education are one of the truest evils on this planet today. I am a victim of MKUltra and am still attempting to sort out which lessons were fact and which lessons were fiction

I'm going tp play Clozemaster apologist: If you read how they get the sentences, they are drawn from Tatoeba.org, which may or may not be compromised, but which is at least Creative Commons. Clozemaster itself is just a skin on a decade+ old CC database. I call it plausible deniability.

You spent a bunch of time doing multiple-choice questions that could be solved by brute pattern recognition, and could thus be successfully accomplished by a crow. Just because Duolingo gave you XP (oh hey; it's almost like they know how vidya-game addled brains react to the dopamine triggers) doesn't mean you know Russian. Duolingo has no "teaching strategy." It has a let's-make-people-feel-good rat-pellet strategy.

As far as apps go, Clozemaster and LingQ are both better. L2 acquisition really is all about comprehensible input (existing just at the edge of it) and context; Duolingo is magnificently bad at both. Leaving aside its absurd claims (34 hours of Duolingo is the same as a semester's class? No.) its ubiquity should be a fairly clear indicator that it's not serious. In exactly the same way that Rosetta Stone was a pile of shit before it, so too is Duolingo nothing more than marketing mixed with clever design. (muh XP)
