is pic related a good way to learn the basics of a foreign language

I'd say it's better at teaching vocabulary than the actual basics.

I used it while learning german just to expand vocabulary.

duolingo is good for basic vocabulary and a crude understanding of grammar
there are definitely worse ways to start learning a language and it gives you a good impression if you actually want to keep going

>>79402636
The grammar sucks but it's good to learn the vocabulary

>>79402636
I dislike it because it's full of errors

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Italians, is in fact, Venetians and Italians, or as I've recently taken to calling it, masterrace and shitalians. Italians are not an ethnic group unto itself, but merely a linguistic group made useful by based Venetians, a vital group thanks to which Europe exists.
Many /int/ users mistake Venetians for Italians every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the Venetian group is often called "Italians", and many of /int/olerants are not aware that it is basically the Venetians, a Central European masterrace.
There really are Italians, but Venetians are no part of it. Venetians are different, much more civilized and stuff. This is essential for you to realize. Italians often include Venetians, but basically it's Italians with Venetians added. All the so called "Northeastern Italians" are really Venetians.

The portuguese they have is brasilian for some reason. What's wrong with their grammar?

I want to learn portuguese since my mom's side is portuguese but she wanted me "americanized" so she never taught it to me and it wasn't offered in school

Why are murricans always only learning the basics of foreign languages? You either have to do it properly or you just don't. You don't "speak" a foreign language by using Duolingo or learning it for two weeks. This requires years of effort.

No.
Best way to learn a language is learning it by posting in a general on /int/.

No. But there is no harm in doing it. The great thing of Duolingo is that you can do it while taking a shit. Which adds up if you do that every day.

You should just use study books. Memorize word lists. And then slowly introduce media as well (radio, tv, games). And eventually end with conversations.

I want to learn the basics now and then take classes.

If you read the thread instead of being a dumb autistic German, you would see that I have people to practice with too
