Duolingo Swedish Speedrun Any% in

A speedrun by me of the Duolingo Swedish course. The speedrun begins the moment I click "Swedish" and ends the moment I hit the trophy at the end of the Swedish course. This is a bad run: I just thought it was a fun video idea and I haven't seen many of them before. Please go ahead and beat this very mediocre record.
I will be uploading a normal video soon, I promise.

Duolingo is a wonderful thing but as a professional Swedish teacher I feel compelled to point out that their pronunciation is not always accurate. As in this video: there is a difference between “komma på” with the stress on ”på” meaning “come up with” or “realise”, and ”komma på” with the stress on “KOMma” which means… let’s just say there is an English equivalent.

Question for you! Okay so I did a Duolingo speed run where I did every lesson to progress to the next lesson. It was tedious, it took like 12+ hours, but I finished! Well, in Duolingo, there is a feature where you can, for a lack of a better term, “solidify” your knowledge by repeating the course you just did in order to get what Duolingo calls “crowns” and by solidifying your knowledge you can rank a said lesson up to legendary status. When I did the run, I didn’t do any of the solidifying stuff, though I did complete every lesson. Would you call that any% or would it be something else since technically I didn’t finish everything seeing as I didn’t get the skills to legendary status? Sorry if this was a lot! I’ve just always been curious as to what to call it

@corlinfardal9246 Жыл бұрын

@@Paihuaite From that description, you got everything to gold right? In that case I'd call it an "all gold" run, though not 100%, and not a particularly fast any% either. I feel like a proper 100% would also have to include things like all stories for the languages that have them or all the podcast things in the Spanish course

i tried to do this with french, but unfortunately the french duolingo is only in france french and not in quebecois which fouled me up immensely. you wouldn't think so, but at least the mobile version is verrrrry choosy with the inputs it'll accept-- and often it'll provide you with france-french specific options. once they release a quebecois version though (if ever) i'll add my time to the leaderboard.

@marsdeat Жыл бұрын

It also gets WAY choosier the later you get in the courses, both as a result of fewer people getting to those later bits to provide feedback and them being written way later. In the French course in particular I ended up quitting because it was getting very particular about the ENGLISH phraseology of equivalent translations.

@pearspeedruns Жыл бұрын

Where is the leaderboard for this?

@slyar Жыл бұрын

I'd doubt they'd release a Québécois French course for the same reason they wouldn't make a British English or Portugal Portuguese course. French from France has more speakers than Québécois French, and it's the variety most people are interested in learning

I think it might be a problem that most steno is partially phonetic as far as I know, and I am not sure if it is one to one transferable to normal orthography by a machine.

@codenamelambda Жыл бұрын

@@timseguine2 It is *usually* (mostly) phonetic, yes - that's why you most steno systems need a big dictionary [the default one in Plover (a phonetic system with orthographic disambiguation for vowels mostly) has ~147k entries - that's not 147k words though; it's just 147k mappings from inputs to outputs], and that usually is more than enough - or should be more than enough for duolingo type stuff anyway.

The only people I've ever heard who I assumed were English because of their English fluency and British English accents were either Swedish or Dutch (and judging by the comments, I'm not the only one to assume you were English). Obviously familiarity plays a big role, if you're speaking English every day with English people then you'll pick up the accent. But is there also an linguistic element of similar vowel sounds and prosody? My dad was Italian, a very good friend is Italian, and I know other Italians, French, and Spanish, and even Germans, who have retained strong accents to the extent that at times it's difficult to understand them.
