I've been on/off the course since they first released it. It's changed A LOT fyi.

Seems to me that's a general pitfall of learning a language academically vs immersive. You inevitably are learning a textbook version that's outdated colloquially.

I use duo to learn how to read the subtitles on the Japanese media I watch. For that goal duo has been amazing because you can turn off the English pronunciations.

All I care about is not being illiterate if I ever get to visit.
