Who are you to believe you speak for all brown people

How ignorant are you of people with Stockholm syndrome who have collaborated with their tormentors?

Why are you desperate to change topics to make this personal?

Bin Laden

You think public support for his assassination is equal to public support for the Israeli genocide of Palestinians?

I'm learning Mandarin Chinese currently, and you're right that Duolingo can be almost pointlessly limited.

Duolingo can be a fun/gamified way to kick off learning, but different languages have very different levels of support. (Hindi is known to be wrong/misleading for one.)

I've shifted to using a mix of free courses on YouTube and other apps including HelloChinese and HSK 1.

Drops seems really interesting especially once grammar is down, great to drill vocab.

I may take you up on your generous offer for more advice later!

Americans seem to hate change and endlessly try the same things expecting different results.

My Stockholm syndrome has worn off and I've been putting an hour a day into language learning since the war started.

I look forward to taking your advice and making some friends.
