Do you know much? I did some Norwegian on Duolingo but I threw away the app when they fired all those people to use AI instead lol

really only a tiny bit i learnt on duolingo for a few months in 2022 before going to oslo i’d meant to cancel it over the AI thing too then forgot so thought i might as well use it until my subscription runs out but it’s so bad now. i tried to go over the stuff from before but it’s all different

like how an antikvariat cashier in Prague thought I was a native Czech speaker solely based on how I pronounced "dobrý den" when I came in the shop

Congratulations, sincerely. Someone in Sweden once thought I was Swedish but deaf, which tells you all you need to know about my vowel sounds :/
