は before verb - duolingo wrong or am I misunderstanding?

は before verb - duolingo wrong or am I misunderstanding?

This is the second time in the same lesson it's putting "は" instead of "を" before たべません. From everything I can see, this is not normal. Are they trying to indirectly teach me an alternate way of saying this, or is it just the AI being stupid?

why do the video calls contain stuff you haven’t learned?

i’m just finishing section 2 unit 1 and it was asking me stuff like how am i and throwing in words i wouldn’t know yet. it always mixes me up and i can’t always answer the questions. is it just basically telling you to go research it yourself?

Super Worth It? If so, when?

こにちわ

Just got done with the 3 day free preview of Super. I didn't feel I got the best use of it being very new (Section 1 Unit 5, though I've put these lessons on hold to focus on Kana, which so far I've got the basics hiragana, and just got first lesson on letters like がびごげぐ)

But.. I did find the unlimited energy really nice, not having to watch ads constantly to continue. But I'm also thinking the energy system is actually a kinda good way to pace myself? So maybe I'd even be worse off with Super.

I did give the video call stuff a go, and panicked very quickly during them lol, but that gave the disappointing realization that it doesn't really punish you fucking up or recognise catastrophic failures where I gave up and started spouting gibberish.(Cause I had no idea what they said, all completely new words)

Anyway, question is, do you folks find Super to be a must have, what are some tips for usage, do you consider it to be worth it and at what stage would you recommend getting it? Perhaps I should hold off til I've learnt all hiragana and katakana?

Why the ‘よ’ at the end?

Why the よ at the end? I thought an exclamation point at the end of the English sentence is the signal for including よ at the end of the sentence. What am I missing?

Duolingo is boring?

First of all I don't mean to start an argument for people who are using Duolingo as a mode of learning Japanese, but for me I don't feel like it's good enough, I feel like it's slow and repetitive and doesn't actually prepare you to comprehend and speak fluently, I find flashcards and immersing on YouTube videos for effective because I'm actually listening to how real japanese people speak like. What are your thoughts?
