I liked Duolingo at first but the further I go in my lessons the more useless phrases I learn. I've been learning Swedish for an upcoming trip to Sweden and what I'm learning on Duolingo is totally useless! I just learned "Hon lyssnar på musik medan hon duschar" Swedish translation "She listens to music while she showers" and "flodhästen ar skrammande" translation "the hippo is scary" and "pingvinen behöver vatten" translation "The penguin needs water" Duolingo? Tell me when I'm ever going to need to say these things? I seriously doubt that there are penguins and hippos running around the streets of Stockholm! I'll admit I did learn some basic conversational skills but I need to learn more and Duolingo isn't working. I'll be canceling my subscription and find a better app to learn Swedish.

Wonderful selection of everything British. Thank you.
