Duolingo is an educational app that helps you to learn foreign languages. But what if it already existed in the 1980s? Well, here it is, Duolingo in 1980's style! #duolingo #1980s #vhs
"You have to do it every day, or your computer lets out an obnoxious high-pitched noise to remind you! Sometimes it even threatens you! Wow! We really are in the future!"
I laughed at the basic phrase at 3:01: "The tax inspector was not welcome", and I loved the really deep jargon at "speech thing". This video was a delight, as usual!
Hey, you're still uploading, that's awesome! I remember I used to watch your videos a few years ago. Definitely remembering to turn all notifications on this time, these are always fun to watch. Gotta give you some extra credit for keeping a consistent and still amusing video style for so many years too!
Lmao the long Dutch word is literally Duolingo when it goes from “Russia - Greetings” to “Russian - Basic Phrases 1” Somehow the jump is way out of left field and goes from “hi” to “here is all of these formals based on context which all of what you knew before is now out the window”. For Korean, the voice actor sucks so you can’t get passed learning the alphabet but the rest is fine For Chinese, there gets to a point where I’m at, which is fairly far along, where the speed is rapid fire even if you slow it down And for Czech, you go from learning how to flirt with questionable phrases like “beautiful pretty little girl” and then the next lesson puts you in your place with “She’s a woman, not a machine”
Absolutely amazing. I feel almost certain that you are 100% aware that the Game Blaster is only capable of FM synthesis, having only 2 Philips(!) SAA1099 chips, and thus entirely unsuitable for producing any speech-like sounds, but since I seem to be the first commenter on the fact, hopefully I've won a huge prize.
It depends on your definition of speech synthesis. You don't need a soundcard to generate speech. You don't even need an LPT1 port D/A converter. There is a very small text-to-speech program for MS-DOS from the early '80s that uses the internal PC speaker/bleeper to talk. I think it was called TRAN.EXE or something. Of course it sounds more like a robot than a human. In this game, I imagined pre-recorder VOC files with words and parts of sentences. Those played very well through a Covox speech Thing.
With this Qbasic program you can play a mono 8 bit wav throught the pc speaker, without a soundcard: OUT &h43, &H90:R=INP(&H61) OR 3: OUT &H61,E: OPEN "WAVFILE.WAV" FOR BINARY AS #1 DO: S$=INPUT$(1,#1) IF S$"" THEN V%=ASC(S$)/4:BYTE&=BYTE&+1 OUT &H42,V%*2 LOOP WHILE NOT EOF(1):END
@@SquirrelMonkeyCom oh I know, I had an original IBM PC growing up and I used to play MOD files through the 1-bit PC speaker until I built my own Covox-compatible resistor ladder out of spare parts. But I have not seen anything that would do that using the FM synthesizer in a Creative Labs Game Blaster, which is more similar to an Adlib card.
Hey , Je hebt een zéér prachtig kanaal . Zéér apart en informatief . Het aantal volgers is fenomenabel . Een dikke bravo en proficiat . Hoewel ik er weinig van begrijp zal het voor velen zéér interessant zijn . Duim op ! Wens je een zéér aangename week toe . Vriendelijke muzikale groeten vanuit België , Arthur. 😍😍💯💯❤❤👍👍🙌🙌
Bedankt! Op mijn kanaal stel ik mij voor hoe moderne websites, apps en uitvindingen van nu eruit gezien zouden hebben als ze al in de jaren 80 en 90 van de vorige eeuw al bestonden. Het zijn dus allemaal nep-documentaires. Mijn Amerikaanse vrouw is de show host.
A better suggestion would be "What if Garten of Banban existed in the 90s" that way people today will already have peak fiction as part of their lives without rejections.
Man Man man. De laatste word of Hint is gewoon heel veel worden voor mij! im totally not writing this in dutch because its the dutch course and i speak it.
The only problem with this in 1980s is that you had to gues or i dont know but now the new words show as purple and you can see it and yeah this was a problem with the 1980s duolingo.
Gonna need an aansprakelijkheidsstelling
Hahaha! :D
LET'S GOOOOO DUOLINGO COMMENTED!
Les go!
So you need a liability claim? cool
i myself need some afstandsbediening
Alternative Title: “Owl in your walls if you don’t do your lessons daily” except it’s the 80s
way more scary
Which is our parents time (fr)
Duo*
and it would need a intel processer for him to come inside my walls
i love the unadulterated joy in the narrator's voice when she gets a phrase right
It makes me feel that this could have been a family-friendly TV show from the late 80’s to teach kids about new programs!

I didn't see that tax inspector phrase
Damn, you just reminded me to take my Hindi lesson before the day is over! Thank you so much!

Ahhh, those were the days. I remember buying a gigantic 160MB ESDI drive for just $700 and I was as overjoyed as she is
Wow! This hard drive can hold more text documents than all of an entire office building's file cabinets put together! We surely live in the future...

Duolingo has also the nice feature of being able to kill its user if he or she is not learning Spanish!
THEYRE BACK
These videos are always a delight!

When I started russian for the first time, it instantly jumped into cyrilic and I had to make it up myself that и means "i"
In German lessons they love making me say “der elefant ist sehr groß” and stuff

Apparently "afstandsbediening" means remote control... interesting
Now translate "gemeentereinigingsdienstafdelingshoofd".
Municipal sanitation department head?
Why this word?
Lol
@@SquirrelMonkeyCom Lucky im Dutch😭
i got a duolingo ad before this video
YES! Finally a new episode! I thought you were inactive! And by the way, what editing software do you use for this type of videos?
I genuinely forgot that I'm subscribed to the channel
A 20 megabyte hard disk drive? What, do you think I'm made of money??
@0:56 this is actually real. resistor ladder DAC. i like how the keyboard is always hit with a fist. the phone number works, too!
Your channel is really cool! Love the old school stuff, looks like the real deal!
Welcome back!
A quick reminder:
DUO IS WATCHING US
SPAM COMMENT BOTS ARE NOT ALLOWED
Squirrel monkey finally remembered their password. Yay!
This channel is underrated. You need more subs
Good news is that the channel is growing again.
@@SquirrelMonkeyCom Thats nice!
*languages sold separatly
I missed the hammering keyboard sound.
Yes! It's here! Thanks for posting the video.
jullie maken geweldige video’s! :D ❤
Dank je wel!
@@SquirrelMonkeyCom dankjewel! :)
WHY DID I GET A DUOLINGO AD😭😭😭😭(worth it tho)
The funny thing is that the show has the name World Wide Web before it was invented, revealing how ahead of the time it was.
I can't get enough of those videos lol
Finally Wonders of the world wide web is back! Best Technology videos ever as my thoughts😊 Squirrel Monkey's videos never gets old!
did not expect a mention of squirrelmonkey by duolingo, let alone a repost
the dude deserves it tbh

What if was eas alarm scenario about duolingo kidnapping for not doing languages back in 80s...
I feel a deja vu by seeing this
Next episode: ChatGPT
Yup!
It should have like a computer virus built in so when you'll skip a lesson it corrupts your computer.
SPANISH OR VANISH
amazing video btw
😂
Thanks!
I got a duolingo ad before i got to watch this IT KNOWS WHAT I AM DOING
im currently learning dutch ❤ AMAZING VID
Good luck! What is your first language?
@@SquirrelMonkeyCom oh! it’s english!
I would've gave up on the first lesson.
Oh my god looks like the Duolingo is cute ❤
i like how everytime its wrong or correct the screen turns black and spams rectangle with a word
3:36 Text to screech...

Let us all lift our ale to the return of the squirreliest of monkeys' return. Huzzah! 🍻
Amazing editing pal.
as always
“Mice means corn”
Missed you.. haven't seen you in a while
Just wait until she adds a mouse device to play Drops!
no need for modem setup this time!
I got a duolingo ad while watching. But i think something else is watching...
I always wanted to know,
Do you record these episodes on actual VHS tapes or do you use a VHS filter?
Some videos, like the Bitcoin video, were done using a VHS VCR, but in most cases I simulate it using software.
@@SquirrelMonkeyCom Oh Interesting!
Keep up the amazing work, it looks so convincing!
duolingo is my all time favorite app!
it really has that 80's feel to it
This analog horror needs a part 2, when doulingo jumpscares you if you answer wrong over 5 times.
İ got a duolino ad while watching
I just click on this video and a Duolingo ad pops up in the begining of the video
Good to seen you still uploading videos your videos have anyways being good
There we go
I got an Duolingo ad before this-
I wish I took my Japanese courses through that...
Now there must be a "What if the Annoying Orange was an ancient god".
A better suggestion would be "What if Garten of Banban existed in the 90s" that way people today will already have peak fiction as part of their lives without rejections.
YOU'RE BACK LET'S GO
The excitement when she answers correctly is heartwarming
2:16, im suprised it didnt go "you know what happens next, finish to save your family!"
Silver Haze is actually a type of marijuana. Due to it being legalized, it's common Dutch slang to call weed stores coffee shops.
As a human being with a functioning intellect, I am aware of this obvious fact.
