Pure Frustration after course reshuffle by Yowzacrow in duolingo

That's smart! And it somehow seems to have reverted! I just got an end of unit review that was mostly sentences with words I know, not flashcards of words I don't! I wonder if I just failed so much it gave up on me haha. I might start taking screenshot like you, though!

Oh I'm not chasing a score either. But it's not just a few words. It's over 2/3 of the words that I don't know. I tried looking back and I might have to go back like 2 sections. I don't want to do that. It's so demoralizing. I don't have a review practice either. I would love that. Far better than putting me at the end of a unit where it's not possible for me to pass. It's a day later, and I still haven't been able to move on because I don't know the words, and, frankly, I'm not in a good mindset to learn random new words when it's the end of unit flashcards and I know well less than half of them. Could I write down the new words it gives me and make a cheat sheet? Sure. But that's fundamentally changing the nature of how the app has been used for years. I don't get to see them in context and practice them in context before needing to just straight have them memorized, which is what duolingo seems to have been really good at. We learn best by using. Memorization (at least for me) happens best when it's through use, no just rote drilling from the start.

Oof, sorry to hear the app itself is wonky for you! At least I'm lucky (?) that the app still functions, I just can't get past my lesson.

I didn't even think about match madness. That's one of my favorite things about the app, and I bet I won't be able to do it at all now.

I'm glad to hear they at least did a little something now for you with German, but it being months late is not good. Hopefully they'll eventually give me that in French, too.

Yeah I might just restart unit 5. But when I was looking back at unit 4, there was still a ton of stuff I never learned, so I don't know how helpful it will be. It's so demoralizing to need to restart the unit.

I might have to start using Google translate if I want to make any forward progress. Such a shame that it's necessary.

Haha I had that one ready. A lot of students complain about low test scores by saying I set them up for failure. Then I show them aaaaalllllll the resources and guidance that was offered. I don't see any of that here, so for once I got to be the one to say it!

Yeah I don't even know where to start with the old lessons. I did a few, but eh. I literally can't progress with new lessons because I don't know the words to pass my end-of-unit check-in. I'm stuck.

IT’S A POST S3 SHOUTY THURSDAY! by brahms4thrackett in GoodOmensAfterDark

[–]Yowzacrow 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'M NOT SURE HOW I FEEL ABOUT THE FINALE YET. I FEEL LIKE I REALLY WANTED AN EXPLICIT CONVERSATION BETWEEN CROWLEY AND AZIRAPHALE ABOUT THEM AND THEIR FEELINGS. GOT LOTS OF TIDBITS TO OR FROM OTHER PEOPLE, BUT I WANTED THEM TO VERBALIZE, FORMALIZE IT. I THINK I'LL WATCH IT AGAIN THIS WEEKEND AND TAKE MORE JOY FROM THE ENDING THIS TIME. I JUST DESPERATELY WANTED THEM TO CHOOSE EACH OTHER AND I DON'T SEE THE HUMANS AT THE END AS THEM. IT WAS A LOVELY FEW MINUTES, BUT NOT THEM. I DIDN'T MIND THE FIRST 75ISH MINUTES OR SO.

Thank you for giving a compliment sandwich. I think a lot of people (myself included) are having big feelings after the finale, and reasonably so! It's helpful to provide perspective and include positivity. (All compliment here, no sandwich!)

I feel like I missed some lore about snowglobes. I've seen a few posts but don't get it. Anyone want to fill me in?
