      Thanks. I wasted a year on Duolingo and got very little idioms, just some supposedly common sayings like das is schnee von gestern, oder es kostet nur einen apfel und ein ei.

      Honestly, ich_iel has done more for my understanding than Duolingo did, but it is still almost nil.

        Careful, Zangendeutsch is a trap for English speakers. Like, not an intentional one, but you have to check the vocab you pick up there.
