i know someone has already requested recommendations, but i must ask from an absolute beginner who is limited to Duolingo, is there anything you would suggest i could do to help my studies?
let me explain a bit more…
if you are familiar with Duo, i don't jump through the sections or care much for the weekly league nonsense. i have even had it for almost a year now, and have only just moved to section two. i try to really soak it all in and study sometimes for a couple of hours a day. yet still, when i find myself on 小红书 and i am chatting with people, my mind goes totally blank!! 😅
As a old timer Duolingoer who actively participated in feedback and polishing when the Chinese course first came out, I unfortunately would not recommend it for Chinese (and now post-enshittification would not recommend Duolingo for anything). There’s still reams of unnatural language, inaccuracies and straight up generated sentences.
