How badly they want to show me ads, it’s impressive. Desperate ain’t sexy guys
Why leave the app installed if you’re done using it?
Knowing how prone they are to this kind of crap, I wanted to wait and see what it’d say when my streak ran out, I wasn’t disappointed
Come to think of it, an application threatening, shaming, and guilt tripping you into coming back might not be the healthiest thing ever.
The aggressive notifications to do a lesson are literally why I use it. I have ADHD. Without the owl threatening to kill me and everyone I know, I would forget about it and forget all that I’ve learned so far. 😔
The gamification is genuinely so helpful. You can get it through other apps like habitica with some setup. I have ADHD too but I found Duolingo good for habit building but jot the greatest for actual language learning
Soon you can switch to Lingonaut and take your duolingo streak with you: https://lingonaut.app/
Define soon. Their progress per language is around 10%, with the highest completion percentage being Czech at 20%.
There’s no way it’ll have the language I’m learning any time soon lol. Duolingo is literally it besides traveling there and talking to locals
Rosetta? What language are you learning?
It’s a modern language with a country that speaks it as a primary language, but it’s not as widely learned so I don’t want to doxx myself. Duolingo is the only one that has more than a beginner’s level in this language. Beyond that I have to actually talk to people, like with italki. That’s going to be hard because I don’t even like talking on the language learning discord lol. I need to know it for my future plans, but that isn’t overcoming my introverted desire to not talk to people.
Wife’s streak is at 1,618 days across multiple categories. Almost 4.5 years. I imagine it’s like smoking at this point.
Does she actually speak the language she’s learning?
Not even a little
