I guess they use the silly sentences to teach how you create the sentences and how you change word endings (in Spanish and Polish at least). I'm on 1600+ days currently and know fuck all. :)

very odd sentences
Yes, I looked to brush up some french after lots of positive things people have to say on Duolingo, and after taking the 'what level are you' tests, my first proper sentence was to learn "On Sundays I am a newspaper".
Deleted it after that.

I used it a fair bit for a while, think i was on a 250’ish day streak but then stopped after various account opening problems on a different phone. Looking back as a language learning tool it was pretty poor - very odd sentences (nobody ever needs to say Paul is eating the rice, I am drinking juice, in Irish), and never really covered useful things like numbers or days of the week. Can’t really see the point of a maths one.
One on one language lessons are more expensive but I use Italki which is cheaper than in person lessons.
