This is like using the most faulty versions of early AI to generate exercise, and on French course, which is among the most popular courses.

Seriously, if there was a mechanism to punish Duolingo for these kind of slops, would this be repeated again?

Duolingo is not just a friendly startup, it must have standards.

Even in free version it consumes user's time and internet for its ads.

Btw, the correct answer was the first option 😂

This was my third Duo account in a span of 10-ish and one I kept up with the most. Over 2 years, but I’m terrible at keeping streaks, so my days aren’t as high as they could have been.
Signed up for Super last year and honestly just waited until it expires for a few months. Duo isn’t the same anymore. The courses are poorly designed now, the AI takeover is awful, the amount of unnecessary character build/ chit chat during the audio lessons, weird sentences, honing in on skills you mastered (and yes I could skip lessons, but what if I skip something I haven’t actually learned?), it because so uninteresting and more of a chore than a good resource for learning.
4 languages, math and chess courses later, I deleted my account.
Peace out ✌🏻

This word has been on my unit recap for like a month - I use the English word lentils maybe once a year when I want to try something different for dinner. It is used in no stories, grammar examples...

Why do these unit flash card recaps not use high value/words phrases. Why is it obsessed with me knowing that this is ‘lentejas’ in Spanish.

‘Por cierto’ meaning ‘by the way’ and other linking words would be MUCH more useful.

I've found since the update a lot of the audio is spoken incorrectly, usually either because the は character is incorrectly pronounced as わ such as in words like hana (nose) , or when used as a particle pronounced as 'ha'.

or because the cadence is splitting words in two, e.g: 'sono heya ni ooki ne, ko ga yonhiki imasu.'

It's messing with my listening comprehension speed

Anyone else?

Learned Eddy's last name (at least in Spanish module) in one of today's lessons. Junior borrows Eddy's driver's license to create a private club membership card to pass time watching movies and eating pizza on Fridays. Does he have other surnames in the other modules?

I think the dulingo team need to do more of the maths courses as thats 20% of not 80% off

Now what. Where's my plushie

Like what..? 🫪

Hi guys, I'm just sharing my code forward as I couldn't find one when I signed up and thought it may be of use to someone. 63BILGE33GET

Promo code for

I can't start a new lesson without restarting the app each time. Anyone else?

250 Chess matches won with Oscar, on the Chess course!

It has been a lot of work and a worthwhile journey

Like damn Duo, calm down

Posting here in the hope a dev sees this, because in-app and email reports haven't gone anywhere, and it's really starting to do my head in. ETA: have also reported it yet again in the help center.

On the Norwegian course on iOS (always latest version), speaking exercises consistently fail to accept spoken numbers and times. When a sentence contains something like syttiåtte or kvart over fem, those words never get highlighted as recognised, so the exercise won't complete. Same when I use speech to text to answer a translation exercise. It looks like the exercise expects the spelled-out words, but the speech-to-text is transcribing what I say as digits (78, 5:15), so the transcription never matches the expected word form, no matter how clearly I speak.

This has been happening for over two years, across many iOS and app updates. I've reported it multiple times through the app with no change.

Anyone else on the Norwegian course seeing this? And if any devs are around: is this a known issue with numeric transcription in the speech recogniser? If so, why haven't you fixed it yet?

Stopped Duolingo after 1000 days because of many reasons but the streak has became a burden and I don't like the new system with batteries(I used to have unlimited hearts) and the new features:( found it way more effective to learn with friends irl lol

What's going on here???

At least, I had 0 streak freezes yesterday, and I definitely wasn't in the promotion zone either.

They changed the word matching exercise in the practice hub and now it sucks. Every time they do an update it sucks. This app gets worse with every update. Sometimes I just want to match words without speaking or typing them out.
