I had some time at work, since it's a slow season, and took the opportunity to study some mandarin.

[mayor-david-prentiss]

not to be a hater but i hate what they did to the italian course on duolingo :/ now the course is the same as every other site, teaching you a bunch of phrases that you'd need if you were a tourist, but not actually teaching you grammar. it's unironically worse for my desire to learn than the nonsense sentences that at least utilized the grammar and vocab they'd previously taught me
