soc_puppetSo Duolingo* is pretty good at drilling and introducing new vocabulary, but absolute crap at explaining stuff? As in, they just plain don't. I had some limited prior knowledge of Esperanto from trying a couple of different courses previously, and that's helped a bit? Like, I'm pretty okay with marking plurals and direct objects and stuff.
But Esperanto also has two forms of the word "of", and Duolingo has so far been absolutely zero assistance in helping me figure out which one to use when.
Just a few sentences on theory or grammar to accompany lessons, that's all I ask! And you can even skip those if all you're introducing is new nouns!
Edit: Mnemonic created! The "a" in "da" refers to amount. The "e" in "de" is for, uh, "everything else" 9_9 Well, if it works...
* The app. I am now checking out the website version, though!
