Norwegian has a bunch of good ones that form a story "My wife hates me", " I am getting divorced", "She is taking the kids" and " I am eating bread and crying on the floor"

they could make a horror movie out of someone learning a language but all the translations get gradually more specific, personal, and threatening
-
"Love is blind, but the neighbors ain't" must be the greatest sentence ever written by an human being

When I learned Ancient Greek, our textbook had sentences like "We threw the babbling old man off the cliff" and "Some children do not deserve to live".

I’m currently learning Greek. So far, I’ve only learned one color. Pink. It pops up in practically all my sentences. The pink water. The pink toast. The pink soup. The bread and the fish are pink. The pink water. The pink water. THE PINK WATER. STOP TELLING ME WATER IS PINK.

The silly and weird sentences are very deliberate. They are something you are extremely unlikely to hear out in the wild so it trains you to listen to each word and actually comprehend what is being said rather than just guessing the sentence based on what it's most likely to be saying.

“I thought it was an apple store but they only sold computers” is genuinely hilarious
-
"He shouted so loudly when the birds were eating his eyes" is legit haunting.
-
The amount of times I had to write "No, I am perfect" in german Duolingo has transformed me into a narcissist.

Matt can’t escape creepy owls no matter what

I love how "I want to live in your shoes so I can be with you every step of the way" is really wholesome and then after that its just "The end is soon."

1:59 Love is blind, but the neighbour ain't (El amor es ciego, pero el vecino no) is an actual proverbial phrase in spanish. It means that the lovers may not see the toxic traits or red flags that their couples may have because they are in love, but people outside the relationship can see them more objectively because their judgement is not affected by the feeling of afection, thus why it is a good idea to look for advice from friends or people outside of the relationship

My mum used to do Dutch on Duolingo (before giving up and doing Welsh instead) and one phrase she used to get quite frequently was "You might be a duck."

"love is blind, but the neighbours ain't" this sounds a lot more like a sun tzu quote than a stupid duolingo sentence
-
I don't remember any disturbing sentences, but once I was learning English and I got this: "The princess wanted to kill the monster, but then she saw three baby monsters. The monster had a family!" and it was so cute 😭✨

The fact that the lady is smiling and giving thumbs-ups as she says "The lion is eating a boy" ... 💀

I was once having a bad day and figured some Duolingo might cheer me up. The sentences I then had to learn: "You're a complete disappointment", "You will fail" and "You are annoying and unlikable". Needless to say, it did the opposite of improving my mood

"Love is blind, but the neighbors ain't." sounds like a great start for several horror ideas update: i forgot how relationships work. either way it's a horror story for the neighbors.

My new favorite sentence from German Duolingo is "Markus is going for a walk with his plants"

Me waiting for the “Please take a shower immediately 🤨”
