Had used Duolingo a few years ago, so decided to try again on iPad for learning Ukrainian. First lesson was fine: "which one of these pictures is Dad" (with four pictures, one of a human male, with "Tato" underneath. Typical show you are word or translation, ask you to repeat it, etc.
Now comes lesson 2: they show you a short string of words in Ukrainian, with maybe one or none of which youve been previously introduced to in an earlier lesson, and ask you to type the English translation. No pictures. Just unknown words, please translate.
What?
Oh, that word Ive not seen before means "aunt" or "honey". Maybe you guys shouldve shown us a picture of aunt or honey, or shown us the Ukrainian along with the English, prior to asking us to translate it. Stupidly frustrating.
Poorly designed, poorly executed.
Deleted the app. Better choices elsewhere.
