While German Duolingo is not obsessed by death and sugar the way Italian Duolingo is, it has its own quirks.

"The spider lives behind the loudspeaker."

"The cats are reading newspapers."

"What time do you have to be back in heaven?"

"Would you like to see the potatoes?"

"Sometimes fish fall from the sky here."

"Which animal are you giving the pizza to?"

"The vegetables do not like vegetarians."

"That is not a book but a coat."

"We swim because we are fish."

"The bear is wearing her dresses." So many questions, so little time!

"The cat is drinking milk and I am paying."

"Why is your brother invisible?"

"The cow does not wear a hat."

"My friend, the bear."

"The answer is 42, what is the question?"

But it seems to have a thing for

"She gives him a pig."

"The duck is bored."

"We are dreaming about a duck."

"Duo's best friend is a duck."

"he has a bigger duck than me."

"Get on the horse!"

"Sir, I want a horse for my birthday".

"The duck runs around the pig."

"The white mouse is addicted."

"My dentist drinks too much alcohol".

"Those are not my fingers."

"Those are the newest victims."

"No normal adults have these dreams."

"I like the second heart."

"Fun comes last."

"This wine is salty." So many questions.

"Fun is expensive."

"The joy is short."

Particularly sinister is "when I regained consciousness I was in a big room."

I know it's not Duolingo's fault, but "Vienna needs a little tourism" is a sentence wrong on many levels.

There were a few unnervingly accurate phrases though, such as "the textbooks are too expensive."

Worryingly I know that the Duolingo German for "warning, radiation" is accurate from experience.
