Duolingo is a very popular language learning app, and many brothers and sisters use it to learn Arabic while being unaware of the hidden messages that are found within this app.
The idea of this video was inspired by an article by sister Mariam Ahmad, who first published her article on 28th May 2023 on Al-sabeel.net network on this topic bit.ly/3Z2AdKx . I conducted more research to confirm the information and acquire more sources so that others can be careful when using this application.
Most of the information + pictures used in this video were taken from the official website of Duolingo, their social media accounts (Twitter, facebook) and their fandom page.
PLEASE share the video as much as you can to spread the word and share the ajer in shaa Allah ...

I used to use duolingo for French, and I can confirm the sentences were not even close to what you are showing. Maybe only in Arabic these sentences appear, but for my time learning I remember the sentences being like “My sister wants a cat”. Because French duolingo has characters that speak and have personalities, they aren’t just dubbed by one robot.

I don't care so much about English, my native language is Polish so I tried also to translate sentences from Swahili to Polish and the system of Duolingo isn't really prepared for that. So I gave up. I found other ways to study Swahili. Maybe that system is good whenever anybody out there wants to learn English.

When I clicked on this video, I did not expect you were going to criticise Duolingo based on it's non-halal content - I thought you were going to tell us that Duolingo is bad for learning arabic specifically because they do not teach arabic grammar and case endings correctly. I think it good for learning arabic characters and basic arabic words, but to become fluent in arabic or to know conversational arabic I think it is useless. I would dare say that most people using this app to learn arabic are non-muslims who are going to go and work in an arabic speaking country and want a basic understanding of the language (although note it does NOT teach commonly-used phrases - more often "weird" sentences like the ones you showed). So for them, having non-halal content wouldn't be a problem. Also having spent several months looking through the arabic course on Duolingo, I didn't see any of those exact strange sentences that you pointed out in this video. Different language courses use different sentence examples - I thought the arabic sentences they gave are actually not problematic. Quite early in the arabic course you learn to write "alhamdulillah" for instance. Just my take on it. But I would appreciate if you could make a follow-up video to this one breaking down why Duolingo's arabic course is technically bad from the perspective of learning the language, as well.

Didn't expect someone from TWOW to be commenting on here, but to answer your question in a purely secular way, I don't really think you should be learning Arabic on Duolingo. Duolingo teaches very conversational Modern Standard Arabic (which is pretty much useless because you would only speak MSA in formal situations) while throwing in some grammar from other Arabic dialects, so the Arabic that you would learn is going to be limited to some rare scenarios. In my opinion, learning a language that uses the Latin alphabet (or even Cyrillic alphabet) on Duolingo is better than learning a language that uses a VERY different script to English.

And also I don't usually judge what others do if they know it bad or not healthy, and its not harming me or anyone else I pay it no mind. Although there were some sentences that were really odd, I just thought they were ai generated. Well now i am more aware. I've been using a mixture of dualingo to remember the letters and lingq so I can learn the words sentence structure. If anyone has other resources to use for learning arabic, then let me know.

An Arabic speaker can be Christian, atheist, etc. the language is independent of religion, nationality, culture, etc. There is no strong / acceptable evidence that any religion is true, including Islam; religions are pure BELIEFS and nothing more than that; there may be people who claim to have experienced apparitions, dreams, etc. but they are only subjective experiences that can even be explained in ways that don't involve any religion. Also, the "evidences" that many religious people claim can be explained without involving any religion. So, you cannot impose a religion (belief) over science (reality / logical reasoning). I don't mean to be disrespectful to Muslims or other religious people, but we must accept this irrefutable fact. It makes sense that Duolingo reflects how the world works in real life, whether it is “correct” or not. The world is how it is, not how we want it to be. On the other hand, each person has different tastes when it comes to music, food, hobbies, movies, etc., and ѕех is no exception. Why would it be? It is important to note that NO ONE CHOOSES THEIR PREFERENCE, it is not anyone's fault to be attracted to men or women, it's just how one is, and I believe that any wise god would understand that, right? A person cannot change their preference at will, so it doesn't make sense to condemn them in any religion (and things like these only discredit religions even more). The application is educational, and education is not limited to languages; there are also aspects related to diversity (religious, ethnic, sexual, etc.), and it is logical for them to emphasize aspects that are less addressed in traditional education; in other words, what they do complements the educational process of users, normalizing respect and inclusion of any person regardless of their race, religion, culture, sexuality, etc. it is evident that this is something positive because no one chooses their race, sexuality (and many times not even their religion or culture), so it is not right to discriminate against people for things that are beyond their control. Many things are done in the name of religions, but from the perspective of logical reasoning (not religious), they are unethical; and as I said before, a religion is a belief, not a science (and we can only trust in science), and by “science” I mean “the pursuit of truth” (whatever that truth is).

Duolingo was never a good language learning tool not just for Arabic, but for other languages as well, such as Japanese and Korean. Besides the weird examples no one would use in real life, it sometimes teach you the wrong way of pronouncing words (this is the case with Japanese words with kanji). It also doesn’t understand the nuances in the language and will often say a native speaker in said language is “wrong”. I’ve never used it and probably never will.

Well personally, I have been having a great time learning Japanese with Duolingo. I know now how to tell and ask for the time, order food, ask for a location and much more. I feel like people should appreciate Duolingo more as it probably takes a long time and lots of work to generate, update and teach you a new language, even if you believe it's bad.

@mapl3mage 9 ай бұрын

@@CinnxmonBubbles you can "learn" all of these and more from a 1 dollar Japanese phrase book (the kinds you often see in airports), with the added benefit that the phrase book is organized to be as useful for a tourist as possible. of course, you're not really learning so much as just repeating what the booklet says and hope the native speaker understands you. incidentally, someone made a review on the Japanese course. even after completing the course, which took a few months iirc, they were still far from being at an N3 level, and I have my doubt they would be at an N4.

ON DUOLINGO NO GRAMMAR, so what's the point for you to waste time there? duo is okay for several lessons for get into language and learn characters and some constructions - after that in my opinion u should leave it and find more valuable sources for learning language there is no problem on me, if you will look to course structure and overall words which they covers - all of them are extremely unsignificant and you will not get something major from it.

People using duolingo are trying to learn a language not a religion or belief system. Duolingo is also based in The United States of America so they will not show suppression of women in anyway nor should they need too as it does not claim to be teaching religious beliefs. The people that contribute to the app are most likely citizens of the USA so they may not have the more traditional belief system still practiced in other countries. I doubt it was meant to be offensive. After the learner gets a grasp on the language they can and probably will learn about the culture behind it through the appropriate resources. Duolingo is a resource for people that cannot justify spending money to learn a new language or maybe they simply cannot afford it. Though it has it's flaws, several in fact, duolingo is hardly corrupting the minds of young people in my opinion.

A simple tool like this is not and never will be impactful enough to change the values we teach our kids. Unless there already is doubt in them. But if there already is doubt in them, then this would just add something minor to that. We, as adults, as parents, uncles, aunt's, neighbors, need to give the right example to the next generation on what the right values are. And we should put ourselves above small things like this. For in the end, the judgement is for none but Allah.
