I just logged in today and found that all stories seem to be gone from my path and the practice hub as well. 🙁 I really hope that this is only something temporary!


Edit: I just checked after about ~10 hours and they seem to have returned!

Is Duo a brony? If they keep escalating their antics these will be NSFW soon.

I have finally figured out a way to poorly and incorrectly mispronounce "dólares" so that it would finally let me through the exercises that include numbers and money. There is no single word it has struggled to understand more than that one. And trust me, I am saying it correctly. Good grief!

What about you? What words does Duo refuse to accept from you?

Not bad isn’t it?

Anybody else has had that? I read they’re testing this so maybe not everyone is affected.

Next year I'm going for quadruple digits.

Duo's also on the app trend of year end reviews and wrap ups, so I thought I'd share mine. I kept up the habit, though I started doing the music lessons too as a break in language lessons all the time.

Also, just wtf is going on in the art department over there? Why is Duo's lil green butt featured so prominently?

My wife and i both started studying Swedish and find the audio impossible to understand. To me it sounds like the words are playing over one another. The only way i can understand what is being said it's to play the audio on slow.

I have been doing the Finnish course (and almost have completed it) and do not have this issue in it. Yes, there are times on occasion when i need to play it slow, but for the most part i can understand.

Just finished all the section from 1 to 5 (A1 A2 B1) in 170 days for the German course. The leagues really helped my motivation to grind the hours and be focus in learning daily. Average 1 to 2 hours per day week day and sometimes a bit more in the weekend.

It has been fun all along. I’m definitely not fluent speaker but I have started to think how to say small sentence in German without struggle and looking to read more German to increase my vocabulary.

I remember that way back around 2015 the double XP boost used to stack, so you could get a 4x multiplier, but I don't think that I've ever got a triple.

Milestone unlocked. Aiming for the minimum of 1 lesson a day compounds over the years. @duolingo is my most consistent habit, along with daily reading.

Aim to read the minimum of 1 minute a day and you’ll find you’re reading the whole chapter or more on normal days.

400 days and still a long way to go
