"Ich lerne Englisch mit Duolingo."

Translation: I study English with Duolingo.

[symbolofspirit]

Nope, ich lerne DEUTSCH mit Duolingo.

[GeromeAlgo]

*Nein FTFY

[symbolofspirit]

Thanks. I did it on purpose, though.

[Ethanaparicio]

<h1>product placement!</h1>

[Scott612159]

They just wanted my phone to learn the word Duolingo. See? Mission accomplished.

[NanakoAC]

but i already speak english....

[navardium]

Duo probably wants users to be lairs eventually...

[Chevy1959]

Of course, it wasn't reffering about you.

[march_happy]

But as an ESL you learn English with Duo. Always.

[draculavampire]

i though i was learning german....hahaha

[TodorSediankov]

Would it be wrong if I say it that way: "Ich lerne Englisch durch Duolingo". Which as much as I know means: "I learn English via Duolingo". Correct me if I'm wrong.

[Robert_Andersson]

That is a really, really good question.

Does someone know the answer?

[Simon_Lock]

I'm not 100% sure, but as a translation to the sentence, probably not. I think they're talking about Duolingo the bird (their mascot), not the website. So it's as if you're learning it alongside the bird.

But if you want to say you're learning it via the website, then I think that's fine

[deactivated user]

But its always called the bird Duo for me

[requin230]

While technically correct it isn't used. Germans usually say "mit" when meaning "by means of". E.g. "Ich fahre mit dem Auto" or "Ich sehe mit meiner Brille"

[Klodiana4]

I am learning Deutsch from Duolingo ..

[iamnotjondoe]

Isnt it studiere Englisch and not lerne? Should i report it?

[chondrus]

Hallo! "studieren" is more like majoring in a subject at a university while "lernen" is more general purpose.

http://www.thegermanprofessor.com/studieren-vs-lernen/ is a good reference

[LogicCure]

Ich studiere Deutch bei Universität, aber Ich lerne Deutsch mit Duolingo?

[aParanoidIronman]

Das ist Produktplazierung, und ich toleriere es nicht!

Please correct any errors I made, I'm sure I made some

[NatalieRobyn812]

Nein, ich denke das, das ist richtig.

[taktmann]

Nein, ich glaube, dass richtig ist. ;)

[no.name.42]

So something after "with" falls under the dative? What happens to things which would be considered in the instrumental in Latin?

[snap_understeer]

I remember learning in high school that "mit" and "bei" can mean very different things. Can someone explain the difference and why they use "mit" here?

[Fuizai]

Excellent advert for German learning English users

[Blitzengel]

Shameless self-promotion.

[TheGaromine]

Duolingo kind of teaches me both, because I am not the master of English. Well, he rarely teaches me things in English, because I am an English speaker. What I mean is that like I didn't know that "Makeup" is also called "Cosmetics."

[ehsankakaei91]

Can we translate "mit" to "by"?

[SamerAbuAm]

I learned how to spell English words with Duolingo.

[EllaArulvasagam]

I am learning english BY duo lingo isn't allowed????

[PaulGachar]

Uh, I thought I was learning German, so
can I have my money back now?

[SamuelBoas]

Does anyone know if it is possible to switch sentences , as in not we see every time a german sentence and we need to translate to english which is almost always easy. It would be better for learning if it was the other way around right?

[SydneyBlak4]

Agree

[krystianxxx]

I learn english and german. google explains to me if i don't understand english word

[saraths8]

I learn both, with duolingo

[Catster123]

hi

[Victoria.VV]

Better to use a word that should be changed in Dative

[Bill763190]

How did "lerne"get to be "study"?

[Smawolf]

Duolingo <3

[H3ZTR3M]

Credit to Duolingo! Oh wait, Duolingo already has cre- Nevermind..

[BogdanResh]

OMG what's the reason to discuss it?!

[Arkadios200]

Eigentlich, ich habe begonnen lernen Englisch aus Deutsch, damit ich kann merken mir die Geschlechter des Dingwortes.

[Damir182462]

Jhon Cena:
"Are you sure 'bout that?"

[KLTah]

where is the dative here?

[Oceanotti]

… mit Duolingo

[SGC2C]

So meta

[GrapiCringe]

Why" I STUDY English" ? Shouldn't it be learn?

[LoadsOfToa]

English learn I do

[limors47]

Well, I learn how to spell English words with Duolingo, that part's true.

[thinkingpuddle]

Is that what I've been doing? I'm in the wrong tutorial!

[KingofSpoons]

What if we are the website, and the Website is using us to learn?

[clairecheng98]

My translation always turns out to be, "I study Englisch with Duolingo." By the way, English is not my native language.

[Ilias159547]

Come on people duelingo is using the brainwash to treat us to tell the people "" i learn german by duolingo T-T

[Malvolia]

Nein, Ich lerne Deutsch mit Duolingo. Englisch lernen mit Duolingo, ich weiß schon Englisch.

[lau.pre]

Lol this one was cute

[nicu.hutiu]

Why Duo is not accepted instead of Duolingo ?

[PaulEGon]

Me too!

[Waterip0]

How did I not see this coming though....

[UncleBlood]

Duolingo, is that the new word we will learn in this lesson?

[grannymac1]

On the contrary, I am frequently correcting Duolingo which has some very outdated figures of speech. Don't think they learnt English in UK or USA
