how's this duolingo going to teach people to speak the language ? It sounds more like it will help people read and right but I'm sure most people would rather Learn to speak the language

Thanks to Rafi I just noticed another great idea with captchas is to advertise on them and make you write the slogan

see that's what I'm not getting. seems the prob with computer translation is, that it translates word for word not sentence for meaning. so how in the world are they gonna get that done with people? you gotta be very advanced in a foreign lang to be able to trsnslat the meaning. and by the time you are up to that stage already, then the problem of 'motivation' comes back, your not gonna help'em out anymore if your up to that stage already.

that's 'one' of the things I don't understand,
but he's definitely a gr8 sweettalker
now the Yiddish q. how's he gonna turn this into CASH:D
