@Stahesh @shortstories Also there's barely any worthy reward at the end of most activities. Our society mostly punishes "successful" men.

@Stahesh @eris

So regarding the borrowed words from English in Duolongo I assume they teach that at the start because they think it will be easier and make native English speakers more comfortable with the Korean alphabet

But as you get into later units a lower percent of the vocabularly is borrowed from English

And Duolingo is not the only teaching material that starts with borrowed words

@Stahesh

Also Indonesian uses English letters and is in closer to English word order than Korean

Indonesian might be an easier language for beginners than Korean on Duolingo

I do not know because I had more Korean experience so I could get farther in Korean but Indonesian looks like it would be simpler to me if I had no exoerience in either language

@Stahesh

So because the Korean alphabet is easier I would work on it first instead of all three at once

I would do Korean practice before German and Spanish because you already are closer to knowing their alohabets since they are almost the same as English

Once you have the Korean alphabet memorized you can reduce time on it and just maintain it and then pick another language to focus on

Or do not do Korean, Arabic or Japanese at all until you completed the courses in the easier languages

@Stahesh @shortstories korean will be easier to read yes

@Stahesh

Korean has an alphabetical order for the consonants learn it and write them in that order in the notebook until you can write in alphabeticak order without a guide

Next you can do that with Arabic or Japanese Alphabets but not the Japanese Pictograms

And switch between all three until you do not forget when you switch back to the previousv language

Arabic writing practice has to be done in a special way because the letter changes shape based on whers it is in a word

@Stahesh

I would suggest that Korean is easier than Japanese and Arabic

Do not even study Japanese or Arabic until you learn the Korean Alphabet

Just take a notebook and write each consonant paired with each of the simple vowels

Do not even use Duolingo to learn it other than to remember the sounds

After you can write all the consonants from memory paired with simple vowels without looking at something else

Then you have memorized the alphabet for the first time & you can switch languages

@Stahesh

You have to spend all or none commitment with Korean, Japanese and Arabic

You can skip around with German and Soanish because you know the English Alphabet

@Stahesh

Continous translating at least once a day helps prevent forgetting but I would be translating at least 7 hours a week when not listening to lectures or reading a textbook

If you take a notebook and write every combination of one consonant followed by one vowel it will take a long time but it will help your memory

Pay careful attentiom to if the vowel goes to the right of or below the consonant

@Stahesh

So I think I was studying it at least 12 hours per week for maybe 1 to 2 months

But I would still forget at first

But now I can go for months without studying and still remember

After you relearn it enough times it stays in your memory

So after you learn the alphabet well enough then simply translating sentences forces you to use the alphabet every time you read or write

@Stahesh

Maybe you should go through the whole alphabet course then delete it three times then next do the parts where you translate it back and forth from Korean to English

But you shoud do at least one lesson of Korean to English translation every day for at least a month to avoid forgetting the alphabet after you complete the alphabet

If you are not using the Alphabet every day you might forget it

Verb is at the end of simple sentences
