too little repetition and in languages within other characters than English it is impossible to write them so you have to skip these exercises and you won't learn them. Some exercises are poor in context so the learning experience is minimal. There is a lot of promise in this app so keep on going. thanks for the update. one more request: my eye sight is bad, so it would help me to be able to zoom in. especially when the characters are in Arabic☺️

I was considering buying a premium subscription after Duolingo lapsed, but no more. The ads to buy premium are egregiously in your face, popping up at least 10 times per lesson, completely covering the screen. The other ads are the worst kind, too, find the x or the >> three times in a row for the scammy apps you've seen a million times before. And on top of that, the lesson often fails to load after you finish the ad, and you have to do it all over again. All huge red flags. No thx

It seems good on the surface. My concern is that the app encourages you to correct other students work. While that is usually fine, I have noticed a number of students, who are not native speakers, incorrectly marking people's work. This could be confusing. So I have decided, for my part, to ignore other people's comments on my own work for now.
