People who have the means to go to France for extended periods of time will absolutely still go. There are so many people who act like Duolingo is trying to replace travel-based immersive learning, which just makes me roll my eyes. "Just move to France" has real "it's one banana, Michael what can it cost? Ten dollars?" energy. I agree that Duolingo is insufficient on its own to reach anything approaching fluency, but that's why supplementing with podcasts, books, other apps, French language TV and movies, etc., is important. And while immersion is the fastest way to learn, it's just not practical for most people, beyond maybe the occasional Zoom with a native speaker, or a meetup group.
That's great for people who are able to do so, but why are there so many people who act like this is at all reasonable advice? Learning another language isn't the sole ambition of my entire life I'm not really able to pick up and move for what is essentially a hobby. You need to try to live and work abroad to get proper immersion." They say things like, "you'll never reach full fluency using an app.
Does anyone else occasionally run across this mindset? It always amazes me when people slag off Duolingo specifically because it's inferior to immersion learning.
