I've been doing French for 90 days or so and I'm amazed by how much I've learned tbh. I see a lot of luodingo hate in this sub and I am kind of curious why. I do understand some languages (like, I would assume, Ukrainian) are really underdeveloped, but going from knowing absolutely 0 French to being able to talk about my plans for the day, work etc in just 3 months seems really solid to me.

I am definitely interested in finding a more in depth resource to learn the actual grammar rules and stuff like that but so far I feel like I have a solid foundation for learning the language

Thanks for the advice, I will definitely check out those resources.

As someone who is simply leaning as something to fill a little free time I don't really mind duos slow pace. I do see the value of the excessive repetition, I definitely feel a lot more capable of remembering what I learned long term than if it were to move faster.

I will say that 90 days of duo French has been much more useful to me than two semesters of University spanish classes (and I grew up in socal so we had Spanish class all through elementary and I still don't know shit)
