HOWEVER Duolingo is good for if you want to review what you have learned from other lessons. I didn't notice it at the time, but now I look back at the website and notice it. As a beginner who didn't know ANYTHING about Korean, the audios all sounded the same to me. It uses phrases that are NOT used in everyday sentences, such as "the bus climbed up the chair" as a way to catch the readers attention but in reality it just holds you back because you don't learn ways to use it in real life. This can affect the way you speak in the future. This is bad because once the reader actually learns 한글, they still depend too much on the romanization. It relies WAY too much on romanization to teach 한글 (Hangul) from the beginning. I would much rather you learn from Korean Unnie or TTMIK on YouTube. Take it from someone whose been studying for over half a year now that while Duolingo may be great for reviewing it, not as a beginning source.
