i’m learning norwegian as norway is a country my dad really likes, we have roots there and embrace it. dad speaks a bit and i’m a casual learner who started learning basic words as a child along with icelandic. I’m studying with the book “Norsk: Nordmenn og Norge 1” and I also want an app to help.

    The best learning material is the one you have motivation to follow through. Doesn’t matter if there exists better ones, if those will be left unused.

      I agree, I use Duolingo because it’s good at making me comeback to learn. But I use it for vocabulary as I feel it is best for that. It was never very good at teaching grammar.

      But I don’t know why it is not good at teaching grammar. I don’t think it’s that difficult to replicate textbook exercises in a fun way. All I can think why they don’t have good grammar exercises is that it’s some dark pattern I don’t recognise.
