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.

The Select Committee to Investigate Tax-Exempt Foundations and Comparable Organizations was an investigative committee of the United States House of Representatives between 1952 and 1954.

The committee investigated the use of funds by tax-exempt organizations (non-profit organizations) to see if they were being used to support communism.

The committee was alternatively known as the Cox Committee and the Reece Committee after its two chairmen, Edward E. Cox and B. Carroll Reece.

>the report did conclude that

"Some of the larger foundations have directly supported 'subversion' in the true meaning of that term–namely, the process of undermining some of our vitally protective concepts and principles. They have actively supported attacks upon our social and governmental system and financed the promotion of socialism and collectivist ideas."

Your super soldier thread has been made multiple times on 4chan, as have your Banks Island thread and your Svalbard thread, all with the AU flag. You even earlier said that whites should turn themselves orange skinned to live on Mars. Are you just a shitposter or do you have some bizarre transformation fetish?

ehh not a bibleanon but

The confusion of tongues (confusio linguarum) is the origin myth for the fragmentation of human languages described in the Book of Genesis 11:1–9, as a result of the construction of the Tower of Babel.

the zero effort to unify human conversation across the globe with one single language is the founding pillar of the principle of divide and conquer.

there are some "languages" where there are more and easily availiable literature, guides and general media being produced for and others, which do not have the same levels of availiability for learning material.

some languages are more basic some more advanced, some crude , some extremely precise.

i for my part do not have any experience with bias and indoctrination through language learning except the stuff which got shilled in my country back in the days. lately i have learned two very based languages , one of which is russian and the other of which is hebrew and in both cases the materials i got for learning both ranged from neutral to based. men dating girls , do general busyness stuff , navigate , debate etc. no refugee propaganda , no lgbtq normalizations etc.

i am very intrigued by your depiction and if i happen to find the time i will probably start to learn norwegian in the near future just to be able to check out how corroded they have become…

maybe finnish first because all the finns i've met were really nice people, next time ill try to find out if they have something like svalbard in finland too…

wish you all the best at svalbard be sure to keep 8ch in touch when you have set up shop with your original svalbardian whale oil surströmming sealskinsocks empire !

godspeed

I studied Arabic for years and, of course, had absolutely zero interaction with any "progressive" materials. I don't think it's necessarily the language so much as the medium. (Though, of course, the language does, I really believe, change the kinds of thinking patterns a person has access to. I dreamt in Norwegian for the first time last night!)

But Duolingo is just corrupted to the core; I worked through their new Arabic tree in a day, and it had exactly the same kind of nonsense. I just maxxed out the Norwegian tree after 18 days, and I will probably not go back.

But Norwegian, let me say, is a magnificent language. For anyone coming from a Germanic language background, it just makes a lot of intuitive sense, and the way they make compound words is just brilliant (an "octopus" is an ink-squirter, "oppose" is stand-against… the list goes on). I've studied about 12 languages, and Norwegian stands at the top of the heap. I just love it. (Norway is freaking great, too.)

Study well, anon! Enjoy!

I do not mean to suggest that women cannot or should not be doctors or prime ministers. When EVERY prime minister or doctor is a woman and the men are all bus drivers, I begin to wonder whether there's an agenda. Add to this the incredible amount of time speaking about immigrants and refugees, the Gloria Steinem quotes (One of the exercises is literally "A woman without a man is like a fish without a bicycle.") the gay flags (but not once the Norwegian or American/UK flag)… A pattern emerges.

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

Literally every reading, English, and social studies curriculum has a lolocaust unit in every grade and possibly every chapter.

Is there a single industry not kiked?

I was lucky to have spent years writing curricula in Saudi. Literally the promised land of not-having-to-hide-the-powerlevel. Coming back to America has been physically painful.

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.

I am lucky that I can no longer even make it through the oblate negro spheroid gauntlet of the normal American university HR department in order to even consider applying for a job here. Back in 2015 I refused to participate in LGBT week and wasn't recontracted.

That ain't nothing, peep this. Not only is she shitting on white kids, she's shilling for Netflix pedo kids shows on her Twitter.

Gradually I become more and more convinced that ethnostate is the only solution. So enraging!

We have three articles in German and use all of them, which might make the language hard to learn. But we use more compound words, so you might not need to learn that many unrelated words like someone learning English (which sucks).

Who are you? That was my plan, too. Then I looked up the demographics: it's full of SEA monkies. There simply is no such thing as a white country anymore.

I'm learning Dutch on Duolingo and I get none of those things you mentioned. In fact, I have not seen a single real piece of poz.

Even if you're not getting those things, Duolingo is still shit. Any primer on Second Language Acquisition will explain why this is the case.

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)
