And it’s so true about Duolingo. They push you to “play” to a point that it’s stressful. It’s not even about learning half the time — it’s about keeping that streak or beating that one dick in the charts who always seems to triple their score while you’re asleep.
My daughter keeps texting me screenshots of her “streak” achievements as if that means anything. And then when I ask her how to say something in German she barely knows a thing.
“den” is a pronoun which does not make sense/does not fit the gender in this context.
So I changed it to “denn” which is an adverb which in this case is hard to translate but boils down to something like “at all” in this sentence. Eg do you learn grammar there at all.
If you want to use a pronoun with the correct gender then it would be “die” (female) which is technically correct but sounds weird in this case.
So you could simply leave it out which would sound more natural.
It can be done to a stupid degree. Duolingo defines the outer limits.

Lernt man den Grammatik auf Duolingo? Ich weiß es nicht weil ich benutze das nicht.
Lernt man denn Grammatik auf Duolingo? Ich weiß es nicht weil ich sie nicht benutze.
Fixed (although most likely not perfect, since that is always debatable).
Thanks, why did you change den to denn though?

Makes sense. I read your comment as any gamification is shit; my bad!
