Do you think this is stereotyping and is it offensive?

My parents’ friend, who I have known since I was a baby, teaches Spanish and likes to study new languages. Recently, she has been studying Yiddish through the Duolingo program, and she just wrote this on Facebook:
Language learning is more fun…when culture creeps in. I’ve studied Dutch, French, a little Catalan and Italian, and now Yiddish. All the languages are introduced by topics, which tend to be similar, but Yiddish is the only one that has a topic called COMPLAIN!
Is Duolingo stereotyping Jewish people and is it offensive?
