Yeah, the whole verbs thing still feels like just vibes and guessing and I am, in theory like B1 or B2 in Spanish now and I have been doing Duo for like a Decade (not just Spanish, some Japanese, Norwegian, and Chess).

    Yes, but also no. The Duolingo Chess courses were very repetitive and kind of lame.

    Not nearly as lame as the math or music courses though. The Music ones would have been ok but the timing mechanic worked horribly. Like, how can I hit every note in a "Dance game" going a hundred beats per second, but somehow Duo can barely register the notes and timing for Twinkle Twinkle Little Star?

    Maybe it's better now, I have not tried, Duo "conveniently" (annoyingly) bought Beatstar which I had been also playing at the time and closed it (Beatstar).
