Heyy, you guys really seem to talk a lot about duolingo and I was wondering what kind of level is it suitable for? is it only really for learning new languages or is it good for languages you already know a fair bit of? Also, I've read a lot of you slating the Italian version, is it really that bad? Thanks! :biggrin:

It's good for vocab as well. If you're finding it too easy, you can test out or unlock higher levels so it's suitable I think for all :wink:

Italian... :lol: the Audio is ****..
It's brilliantly for all levels, you can revise the basics and do more advanced stuff.

It's not the best, but the rest of Duolingo for Italian is perfectly usable :tongue:

I just joined Duolingo and I'm already sick of the German. So few of the English 'correct' answers are natural or correct translations. Sigh.

Haha, I'm mainly trying to make my Spanish, Italian and French be on the same level before I continue with either :wink:

Oh, and I'm trying to get to the interesting topics :tongue:

:colone: I'm finding it pretty odd that you're level 10 in Spanish as well. No offence. :tongue:

I must've skipped the kein/nicht ein part, so no idea. It's mainly been a bit of word order, a bit of tense usage and some pure translation issues (eg accepting 'in shape', and 'in form' but not 'on form' for 'in Form'. There's no such thing as 'in form'!).
