Why do some languages use "j" while others use "i" in diphthongs? Icelandic, finnish: ei Swedish: ej Swedish, polish, slovak, czech, serbo-croatian: hej Finnish, estonian: hei
The AI is wrong. For those who don't know why: English is considered a Germanic language solely because it descends from Proto-Germanic, period. It doesn't matter how much vocabulary was borrowed from other languages (assuming no creolization took place), because this classification is genetic. Maltese, which is considered an Afro-Asiatic language, is a case in point.

Those are not necessarily diphthongs Might as well point out that the same sound in English is often spelled ‘ae’ ‘ai’ or ‘ay’, so ‘ei vs ej’ seems rather quaint

My main issue is that it's contradicting itself in ways that a human wouldn't (you can be wrong on something, but make your argument sound coherent). The context awareness it has is very rudimentary. It's great at being a smartass or insisting that it is self-aware, though. lol

2 years of French and I can't comfortably say that I fully know the difference between savoir and connaître. I know the basic textbook explanation, but they always contradict eachother when it comes to nouns: connaît-on un nom ou sait-on un nom? connaît-on les résultats ou sait-on les résultats?

People contradict themselves too. Have you ever gotten into an argument on this site?

It's just a glorified chat bot, right? I think it's supposed to generate a reply by running the key words you use through an algorithm.

There was some guy asking about Italki a few threads back. I just had a trial lesson for Indonesian.
It may be different for you obviously since new two tutors are alike, but I really enjoyed that. I used another online tutor in the past and it wasn't nearly this good. Got a trial lesson and basically went over formality rules in Indonesian (which is waaaaayyyy more important to understanding this language properly than I thought, to the point where it's actually one of the most important parts of learning it correctly) and my tutor was great. Very animated, very friendly and the lesson plan helps for having a goal in mind. Like I said, no two tutors are alike so it obviously could be way different for you than for me.
I feel like such a shill for writing that but honestly I learned quite a lot for just a trial session. If I'd know so much was going to be thrown at me I'd have gotten a note book. I can't even remember all of it. So yeah, would recommend for sure.
