proprietary, btw

i pulled the image from a meme channel, so i dont know if its real or not, but at the same time, this below does look like a legit response

the background it likely ai generated anyways

(i took the meme off some discord channel, so i dont know how its made)

i’ve been doing some 15 minutes of duolingo japanese for almost 10 months now, and i think i know a bit of japanese, and i could vaguely understand lyrics of songs if i stop it and read the text, i think the main issue for some people is that they only do it to “keep the streak”, which is the case for a lot of my irl friends, and they barely learnt anything. One of my friend did do a large number of russian lessons daily, and i think he now knows quite a bit of russian (aka, can speak)

i dont think i’ll be able to speak japanese in a daily convo in quite a while, cuz im too scared to speak, however im starting to understnad what they are speaking, so its not entirely accurate to say duolingo is pointless, cuz it really depend on ur attitude towards it

also, almost none of the anime kids ive met know any amount of japanese, the two topics couldnt be any more different
