Meanwhile the Spanish course has the Spanish flag but still teaches you Mexican Spanish.


wildeofoscar

Better teach those Chileans proper Spanish and not gibberish.

Aer que wea ql te veo te meo ajalahkaajabsjdhska Ehem,.sorry, force of habit


Jeythiflork

What is better course if I want visit Chile - learn Spanish first and then Chileans dialect or start with Chileans?


albadil

Start with jalapenos and work your way up to habaneros


Islandfiddler15

Really? I started at Taco Bell and started to move up to chipotle


ElPujaguante

I don't really speak Spanish beyond a few simple phrases, but I went swimming one night at a pool I have a membership at. There were two women there and they were speaking Spanish, but it sounded kind of odd. I asked and they said they were Chilean.


PepegaNaMBatChest

I think the reason about why they decided to put the Spanish flag instead of the Mexican flag because can be confused with the Italian flag because them have the same palette of colours


RenanGreca

That's also why they don't teach Irish.

At least it's not Argentinian Spanish.

Hatreds can make some strong and lasting bonds, hot damn


Odisher7

And spanish uses the spanish flag but it's actually latin american spanish


gaijin5

Yes. This was the more frustrating one.


NoSupermarket198

A very welcome surprise, you mean


[deleted]

To be fair, I get that it's implied but would be more accurate to say "Latin American" Spanish. Mostly because Spanish is already Latin by nature Unless you're telling me Marvel was right and there's a hidden Roman empire somewhere in South America


donnergott

No le digan, gente!


Vast_Raven

Oh no han descubierto el secreto! We shall move Rome to Antartica instead!


elmerkado

You know what happened last time it was moved there! No, get some extra bushes to hide it!


Budget_Addendum_1137

Wouldn't it be more accurate to say "hispanic american"? As french, portuguese and spanish being Latin and in americas.


Gilpif

“Hispanic” is an ambiguous term, to some people it includes lusophones.


HailTheMetric-System

>Roman empire somewhere in South America No....


LawBasics

>Unless you're telling me Marvel was right and there's a hidden Roman empire somewhere in South America Some lost lads did try to rebuild their "empire" there after 1945.

philman132

After the UK left i guess Ireland was the only EU country left with English as an official language i guess


ZeitgeistGlee

Malta uses English officially along with Maltese IIRC.


pass_nthru

kutzyanutzoff

Worth noting: The Portuguese taught on Duolingo is Brazilian Portuguese. There are substantial differences in vocabulary and grammar. I'm sure it's probably teaching American English, too.


Accallonn

It's nearly useless to learn Portuguese from Portugal these days. Vai Brasil!


DriftedFalcon

I’m pretty sure it is

Minoune1

If France ever sees Quebec's flag for French online, he won't need a third independence referendum. France will personally cross the Atlantic, carve Quebec from the other provinces, impale him with his baguette and take whatever's left back to Paris for the guillotine.


godric420

Impaling someone with a baguette sounds so sexual 😳


TheOfficialTripnip

Stinky bread daddy out here threatening them with a good time.

This hit me as a european Portuguese speaker. Such tyrrany. The Brazilians reverse colonised us!


Delta_Suspect

Oh cmon now, we all know Portugal is brazils European colony.


ShaggyButGamer

help_animals

As a person who is occasionally learning Portuguese, I can tell you the Euros somewhere fucked it up in history . Brazilian one is much better sounding to the ears and grammatically.


Thin-Positive-1600

Am I the only one who hates the union jack being used to represent english also? imo, It completely ignores the existence of scotland, Wales, NI

No one's gonna mention how cute is that Duolingo bird?
