    Back when they started, they had a forum where people explained grammar etc which was very helpful. They closed the forum, gods know why.

    I read that they’d introduced a subscription tier above Duolingo Super, although I’d never seen it on the web version. Nonetheless, people say that the app explains mistakes in this tier, or at least adds more context. If that’s true, it all makes perfect sense: people wouldn’t pay if the same information was available for free.

    It’s not like duolingo was trying to teach you.

    “You made a mistake? The best I can do I underline half of the sentence, but no guarantees on that. Why was that wrong? What? Do you expect me to explain that to you? Lol.”

    And I had a premium subscription. I switched to Babbel, it’s like another world. Duolingo is underwhelming compared to alternatives.
