EDIT: I took up learning on Duolingo now.
“I’m getting a lot from this app, and it’s really helping me, but now they want me to support them so that the app can continue to exist.”
Shit people think these days.
I checked their webesite/app, that was mentioned that all features require payment.
Do people not read about apps before using them or something? Thats so strange, if I wanted to learn a language, I would make sure that’s possible with the app before using it myself.
But is the test worth anything more than just a little ego boost and online award? Isn’t the lessons enough anyways?
There is a test before this one that OP would have completed. This tests for the proficiency of the unit you have just completed and is necessary to then advance onto the more advanced levels.
The test in the picture is an additional one for some kind of busuu certificate, I don’t know if it counts as official accreditation but I doubt it very much.
Not paying doesn’t hinder your progress at all and you miss nothing from not doing this silly certificate test at all other than like you say so e-peen waving I guess?
I learn Spanish to speak it with my gf and busuu has been amazing when compared to shit like Duolingo that doesn’t teach you anything usable at all so this shade being thrown based on some stupid certificate is totally unjustified.
are you surprised when they tell you to pay at a check out?
Things aren’t free.
Free stuff is
I was reading through the comments here, and I went through OPs post history.
It feels a lot like a neurodivergent person, maybe Autism of some kind. The post / questions appear weird to others, but they feel genuine. I live in a very neurodivergent home, and I kinda get it.
Thanks, person. I am autistic: specifically Aspergers. I feel like you understand me well.
Take care!
