You’re not saying how far in the course you are or at what level.

The basic stage stuff is trash. You’re not even getting “ou est la biblioteque” or “donde esta la biblioteca”, you’re getting “la tortuga es verde” or “un homme ne pas femme” or something.



In French that's like midway through section 3.

But I haven't done Esperanto in a long while, so I hopped into that. Back in section 1 unit 2, very early. The phrases are things like "La vetero estas bona" (the weather is good), "Hodiau estas bona tago" (today is a good day), "Cu la tago estas varma?" (Is the day hot?), "Hodiau la vetero estas tre bona" (Today the weather is very good), "Hodiau estas varma tago kaj la suno brilas" (Today is a hot day and the sun is shining). Once again, not nonsense like "the turtle has green pants".

So once again my experiences in the app do not mirror yours of just getting nonsense phrases for hours and hours.
