Nigger Duolingo Latin is in pre-alpha stage rn but if you need Duolingo to learn a language I guarantee your brain is too small to comprehend what the Romans have to say

Two meme languages are fine, imo. Two qualifies as a joke; any more than that would be depressing.

Aeneid seems quite simple compared to Metamorphoses which is a complete clusterfuck to decipher:

Ante mare et terras et quod tegit omnia caelum
unus erat toto naturae vultus in orbe,
quem dixere chaos: rudis indigestaque moles
nec quicquam nisi pondus iners congestaque eodem
non bene iunctarum discordia semina rerum.
nullus adhuc mundo praebebat lumina Titan,
nec nova crescendo reparabat cornua Phoebe,
nec circumfuso pendebat in aere tellus
ponderibus librata suis, nec bracchia longo
margine terrarum porrexerat Amphitrite;
utque aer, tellus illic et pontus et aether.
Sic erat instabilis tellus, innabilis unda,
lucis egens aer: nulli sua forma manebat,
obstabatque aliis aliud, quia corpore in uno
frigida pugnabant calidis, umentia siccis,
mollia cum duris, sine pondere habentia pondus.

Lol why would you say never use Duo? Duolingo is a good resource to use as a supplement. At least the desktop version is anyway.
