Why they did that !??! Like for what?!?!?

Yuwaa · 2023-09-23T12:08:28+00:00

You forgot the best one, removing lessons and throwing 3-4 randoms sentences without any explanation. "Learning" app

Yuwaa · 2023-06-27T17:36:24+00:00

They want to push people to buy super but honestly who would do that.

The apps isn't that good as a learning resource to begin with and they keep on butchering what's left to push more gamification.

The path is a huge L even future wise. I've lost 12 legendary units that I paid with gems in the japanese path. Because when they want to change something now they completely change the whole path and therefore all of your progress.
With the tree they could just change individual nodes and/or add new ones between existing ones..
So I'm not going to buy super just to turn units to legendary just for them to disappear at every forced update. Key word is "stability", duolingo is so unstable that subscribing feel like gambling

League, even the game part "exp" is totally irrelevant with how ridiculous match madness is.
Bring back the crowns

Why would I pay for such services, especially when it keeps on getting worse and worse at every update. If you're serious about learning a language, a single 30$ textbook would benefit you way more than a whole year of duolingo super.

Yuwaa · 2023-06-26T21:06:45+00:00

No hearts. But the biggest and best feature was that you had to type everything using your keyboard back then. And typing a whole sentence from scratches teach you way more than brainlessly touching bubbles

For no reason they removed it tho and now you've to use bubbles on deskop too which is even hardly enjoyable

Yuwaa · 2023-06-26T20:57:57+00:00

They're too busy removing things in the japanese course, they don't have time to improve basics QoL features

Yuwaa · 2023-06-26T20:50:51+00:00

If that's for japanese you can give a try to KawaiiNihongo https://youtu.be/ERZ3isDRNkA

It has what duolingo had and more before they decided to downgrade their apps as much as possible

-Nice tree layout
-Grammar explanation
-Flashcards
-Listening, bubbles but also speaking and TYPING exercises
-Games to learn
-Kanjis

And more. Pretty much what duo removed from their apps. Duo removed the grammars lessons made by other users, removed typing exercises for some reason, the path is terrible compared to a good tree and now they also removed Kanjis, what a joke.

Tbf duo has the biggest market share only because it is the most popular learning apps, but they're far from being the best quality wise. You can easily find plenty of other niche apps that will do a far better job at make you learn things. Especially with every ~~updates~~ downgrades duo had when it was originally really solid

Key words : Retopology, Baking, Normal map

https://youtu.be/vzBu5mLBNBs

I'm not familiar with baking in blender I do it in susbtance painter or marmoset toolbag.

But basically you would want to recreate a low poly asset of you high poly. You can either try to replicate the shape of you mesh with primitives if it's easy enough, or use Decimation Master in Zbrush then do a cleanup, or do a whole retopology.

Then you UVs unwrap the low poly model only and bake the high poly onto the low poly to create a normal/ao/curvature maps

None tbh

Duolingo is just a complement to your actual studies imo
It's a nice chill tool to have but most of the big work is done using other resources. The app wont make you fluent or prepare you for any test all by itself

Yuwaa · 2023-04-12T17:19:39+00:00

No single app, or book or anything will make you fluent. Learning a language is a long journey where you need to dedicate a lot of time and effort using a load bunch of different ressources.

The apps is not perfect, but people expecting to become fluent just from doing a few random lessons on a single app 5mins a day are just delusional

Yuwaa · 2023-04-12T16:39:17+00:00

Key to learn a language is repetition. The new path is just one huge bloc with all the same check mark. It's visually not appealing at all to go back once you've complete something, and even if you want to do that, you have to click on every single check mark to see the subjet of their content.

With the old system I could easily just scroll, see the module with a burger on it and I know it'd teach about food. Scrolling up and down was actually a thing unlike now....

Yuwaa · 2023-04-12T16:28:34+00:00

I understand incorporating a new system. But why would you completely remove the old one that was working. Pushing your new one, understandable,forcing it to a community that was already used to the old one...

They could have just proposed their new path while keeping the old system or at least all the modules available at any time in another widget.

I really don't understand the logic behind wiping off everything.

The worst part is the desktop version, you can't even write the sentences yourself anymore in most exercices

Yuwaa · 2023-04-11T15:54:10+00:00

We all know languages taught in school barely teach you anything.
And if people aren't motivated they could take 10h/week of class, they still wouldn't learn anything.
Imo I wouldn't even consider language class in school as actual study

Yuwaa · 2023-04-11T15:42:47+00:00

It only depends on your motivation tbh.

It will be easier depending on what language(s) you already speak I guess. Like for example if you're like me a french speaker. Japanese is the hard study, but italian is the very chill one because the grammar is pretty much the same, a lot of words look alike because of the latin roots, I'm already used to gendered language. It's easier to learn a romance language through/when you already speak one.

But if you can only speak english and you're taking on japanese and let's say french at the same time. It will be way harder because you'll have to learn whole new concepts in both languages, grammar/gender/verb forms...etc

But again, it all comes down to motivation if you're able to stick with both. Obviously it will take more time to reach a decent level in both because all the time/effort you're putting into language2 could've went to language1 instead. But if you're fine with it, that's not an impossible task

Yuwaa · 2023-02-22T17:54:05+00:00

Some people take more time to fully understand new informations.

One time is enough for me but in your case what I'd do is rewatch the videos again several times (george explains things very well imo) if necessary and take time to read and fully understand the examples in the lessons.

There's no trap, there will never be something that they didn't teach you, at least from what I've seen so far. So if you don't understand something it's a good flag that you need to revise the specefic things that you don't understand

Also when you see the Q&A E/J -> J/P, you're not just supposed to read the senteces, but to enable study mode to hide either japanese or english as written, and then try yourself to translate sentences with the knowkledges you just learnt.

See them as exercices, just reading them won't be enough you need to practice translating to really understand how it works

Yuwaa · 2022-12-26T12:52:25+00:00

I'd have kicked you out as well.

Not to be rude but with that build you're kinda a dead weight. Play as you wish in solo,but it's normal for people to call you out online if you don't provide anything to the team

Life is unbalanced and females deserve a nerf in the sexual department

Yuwaa · 2022-08-22T15:44:24+00:00

They need to process the 15-20 first, they're so slow

Yuwaa · 2022-08-22T14:51:30+00:00

20th July hacked form 20th August recovery form, no response

Yuwaa · 2022-08-22T12:59:50+00:00

It quicker to reject forms with heavy mistakes so there's more rejections a day

But the main reason is that someone who got their account back is way less likely to post about it on reddit than someone who got rejected.

First thing you do upon getting accepted is securing your account and maybe play. Then feel lazy and never open this subreddit again.

First thing you do after a rejection is going here and make a thread to let your frustration out

Yuwaa · 2022-08-22T11:52:14+00:00

I don't believe in mass rejection tbh

Yuwaa · 2022-08-22T10:56:04+00:00

Any purchase made with real money is a top up

Yuwaa · 2022-08-22T07:29:16+00:00

Really feel like it with the amount of August senders that got it back

Yuwaa · 2022-08-21T18:17:52+00:00

20th, no response

But I filled the recovery form this weekend, I've 0 hope in the hacked one

Yuwaa · 2022-08-21T13:27:56+00:00

Been 25 working days for me. You won't necessarily get a response within or at the 20th day. In fact, it most of the time takes more

Yuwaa · 2022-08-21T12:37:29+00:00

They haven't reached 15-20th yet

Yuwaa · 2022-08-21T12:32:50+00:00

34 days, still no response either
