I am planning to go to india for studies (and maybe job ) but to do that i have to pass an exam . Don’t get me wrong i am not excepting to ace the test by studying under a month ( while studying a whole lot of other subjects too ) I just want to (barely) pass . And i suppose living there would require hindi aswell because most people there won’t . I tried duolingo aldready and it didn’t do it for me for s couple of reasons:

  • They ( even i know this) spells a lot of letters wrong .

  • Seems too cash graby and justifying it as a game .

  • Overall i didn’t like their way of teaching .

  • It seems like there isn’t a person behind it you know too artificial .

  • And even though i selected the options for a complete noob they are expecting me to know lot of things .

Sorry if it turned into a rant . Thanks in advance for the answers . Also i didn’t know where else to ask if there is an alternate more suitable sub just point me in that direction and i will move the post.ciao.
