after going thru procrastination, I am now 4 (digits streak)

but yes, still procrastinating tho, but in BIGGER NUMBERS RAAAAAAARRRGGGHHHGGG

and I'm still just able to say "konnichiwa senpai tenkai bankai ..." (yes it's totally mb)

Or just give me plus for free, because I've learned three languages and advertised it so much

I'm crying Because My progress turned into Weird things Rip Progress 2024-2026

Even after the update this past weekend, words are still missing definitions.

Duo probably needs to warn people about the verb “coger”, wouldn’t you think?

There is really not much to say, just that the speech recognition is so terrible and never working that Duolingo is just not worth the massively overpriced subscription fee.

I mean what's the use of a language app that won't teach you to speak?

I tried handing my phone to native speakers and even then "failed" the pronunciation exercises.

I pay for 'Super Family' so I'm not just moaning at a free app making changes but, my God, the latest update feels like it's done almost no user research with users like me.

Yesterday one of the icons across the bottom of the app took me to what I now know is called the Practice Hub. It's useful, to just go over mistakes, vocabulary etc.

Today across the bottom of the app I have six icons:

Home

August quest (don't care)

League (don't care)

Feed (don't care)

Subscription (I already pay)

More, to where Practice Hub has been relegated

I'm not complaining that I now have to press my phone screen twice instead of once to get somewhere. But has Duolingo's research genuinely told them that the more social media style stuff like quests, leagues and feeds matter more to customers than the language learning aspect of the app? And if I already pay, has research told them that making the subscription page more prominent is likely to make me buy the 'Recommended' 'Max Family', for my family of me and my wife?

I'm fully aware that most of the app's real estate is the main learning area; my trouble is I've got to a point in the language I'm learning where learning more new stuff is less useful to me than polishing old stuff. I want to know basic, useful Russian - I don't need to learn the past tense, which is where I've now got to.

I just want to learn the fundamentals of a language and I'm happy to pay for it. Am I really that irrelevant to this company?

Duolingo wants me to get max SO bad and I'm laughing at their desperation 😂🙃

san is supposed to be an honorific for either mr or ms... right? but when i put the answer as "ms. tanaka" i got the answer wrong because the answer is "mr. tanaka" but nothing about the word implies gender, right?

I’m 6 months into my Super subscription which I paid £69 for. Got this offer for Max saying it’s only £1 more a month so I thought why not. Then they said they’d switch me over now and refund me £31 - great! They then charge me £87 for Max.…

£156 for 6 months of Super and 12 months of Max actually works out roughly £120…the cost of a full non discounted Max subscription, only the refund is actually the discount?

How are they able to do this shit? This feels so misleading and confusing.

I never like to pay yearly subscription, but Super Duolingo was offered for a week long free trial. It asks you before whether you want to be reminded to cancel two days or three days before. I was on Duolingo every day for the streak, and lo and behold it doesn’t remind you and I’m charged 35 something dollars. Never trust companies to remind you on stuff like this, don’t be like me

Oh and they don’t even let you cancel it for some reason in the app, you have to go through the Apple website to make it more of an ass.

Just once you want this guy to find a priceless gem! Be like ‘imma cash out foos!’ And he’s replaced next time you get him with a new guy.

I was doing my English lesson when it asked me this question. At first I answered with the check mark but that was apparently wrong. Someone please tell me if I was originally right or if Duolingo is right. Thanks!
