Yeah, me too, MWT. I started on the beta of this (Duolingo Navajo) and truly, it’s definitely stuck in time, which does make is useless as a functional language I guess. But I’d also say there’s zero harm in learning it and if it helps some kids get a bit more meaning and knowledge in their lives, doesn’t that make it useful? Just wish they’d do Tsalagi.
Duolingo was a wonderful discovery. I have started with Spanish, then will have a long list of other languages after that. I recommend it to friends and relatives often.
Must be why schools no longer teach Latin any more.

Another plus is when tourists act stupidly the kids can insult them in Navajo.
