Reply: Duolingo’s English course from Italian


Reply In reply to Duolingo from Italian to English is not good

Just like you, Simone, I wanted to refresh my knowledge of the English language before going back to the UK. When starting a new course, Duolingo asks whether the person is new to language or not. If not, it tests the level to establish the starting point.

I’ve encountered the problematic phrases you pointed out, and many more. I understand that the course might be for people less familiar with both Italian and English, and yet it makes me question if the same happens in other languages I’m studying from English.
