Is anyone here using Duolingo to learn languages? It's a really innovative way to learn languages, and it's free. I think it would be awesome if they had Esperanto as well. It doesn't look like they're working on it, though. They probably think that there isn't enough interest.

If you would learn Esperanto through Duolingo if they had it, please vote in this poll.

Also, I'm thinking that we might be able to create something similar to Duolingo ourselves, if they don't want to do Esperanto. Esperanto is really regular, so it's probably easier to create lessons for Esperanto this way than German/Spanish/French/Italian/Portuguese lessons the way they're doing. What do you think?

Very good idea!

I voted yes.
We all learn in different ways.
So the more alternatives available the better.
Plus it is a way of creating more web content in Esperanto and raising awareness of the language.

Sorry if this is an old thread,
but they are working on a way so that the community will be able to add languages.

Esperanto will probably be the first language that will be created by the community.

"Ciao, il mio nome e Duolingo" - I just came back from the pizzaria where I tried out my first sentence from Duolingo. The pizzaiolo said some thing to me that I didn't understand and his fellow pizziaolo said something that ended in "- que stonzo" - well, I guess they didn't get the point. But, yeah, Esperanto would fit into this learning style pretty mojose

They said "che stronzo" to you? I hope not, it's exceptionally rude.

So now I have to learn how to answer in Duolingo Italian - something like: what did you say? Repeat that! or I'll just use New York Italian and say: Hey! Whatsa' madda' you?!

I'd suggest that you might come back tomorrow with Big Tony.

Really, it's not appropriate to call someone an a-hole just for trying out a few phrases in your language. So incredibly rude.

Obviously, I don't know how it all went down, but if robbkvasnak came into the shop and started using learner's Italian, I could conceive of how it might be seen as a slight. As though he was mocking them, rather than trying to make an earnest attempt at their language. Of course, they could just have been rude.

Doesn't phase me. Itsa nice-a place! I'm-a gonna say: Mi piace questa pizza, grazie! ridulo.gif
