    Subliminal messaging by the Duolingo owl. But I’m surprised the messaging isn’t more homicidal, considering it’s constant threatening to murder me and my family if I don’t keep up my lessons.

    “my wish is to kill more for the bird.”

      I lost my streak yesterday… I fear for my life. Can any man, god or owl help me now, or am I truly beyond salvation? I plan to sacrifice hours in the name of the owl today.

      Die Eule ist sehr klug…

      Die Eule ist sehr klug…

      Die Eule ist sehr klug.

      Deo Duo da mihi salutem, Amen.

    And yet the Klingon lessons are “the men and women walk” and “Martok and Torg respect Kahless” and “the soldier repaired Mara’s robot”.

      Maybe you’ve got to get farther into them to learn how to express your bloodlust?

      Duolingo is a good tool for stuff that flashcards are good for - learning letters/alphabets/symbols, learning new words, basic sentence structure/grammar, etc. It’s one good tool for language learning, but it won’t do the whole job by itself. Certainly not garbage, as long as you use the tool correctly.
