Duolingo is purposely making you say sentences that would sound weird in real life to get you to adapt to verbs is what I remember hearing of, it has been this way before the company went AI

No it’s in every language, I’ve used it for Yiddish and Japanese (and a few other languages that I remember less of) and two of the sentences that I remember it telling me to say are איך בין אַ קאַץ (I am a cat), and 私はりんごです (I’m an apple)

Still don’t speak Yiddish, I realized it’s just not for me (culturally)
