Explanation: Germans ~~used to~~ (apparently only in my bubble) call cellphones "Handy" and many people still do that. My friends from america found that quite hilarious.

Duolingo is insistent on calling it a handy. It does my head in.

I already noticed that Duolingo isn't very good for learning languages after taking a glance at it's Japanese course. I need to take a look at the German one, as well.

Oh that's interesting. Do you mind sharing why you scorn the Japanese course? It was my initial course and then I switched to German and have been doing it for a couple of years

The Japanese is just very unnatural and sometimes even wrong.
