I've been using Duolingo lately to try and get back the Italian I learned in high school. (I come from an Italian-American family, otherwise I would probably have gone with French, or, you know, ANY OTHER LANGUAGE IN THE WORLD BELONGING TO A COUNTRY WITH A COLONIAL EMPIRE. Ethiopia isn't enough of a colonial empire to count, Italy.) I would laugh so incredibly hard if Duolingo tried to cover any of Italian's dialect idiosyncrasies. It's an incredibly fractured language and they'd never be able to keep up.
