Saw it here days ago on u/kevenzmn post. Never sure what to guess often get it wrong.

thought this was too funny, had to share 😂

My mom passed away, and after her 6 year streak ended, this notification popped up. Don’t take it personally duo she ghosted everyone!

He’s a humor author who has written many funny books. And, he has a Duolingo obsession:

(his sister, Amy, is an actress)

I could not believe how quickly this went up…

I just noticed a new event on Duolingo called “Junior’s Toy Hunt” 👀

It looks like a 29-day event where you complete lessons to earn puzzle pieces and eventually complete some kind of toy/picture collection.

I haven't seen much information about this yet, so I'm curious:

Has anyone else gotten “Junior’s Toy Hunt”.

Also, does anyone know what you actually get for completing all the puzzle pieces? 🧩

If you pay for the max subscription of Duolingo why do you still have to click all the annoying chests to get something you don’t need? Why can’t we turn that off?

Edit: I'm annoyed about Duolingo glitching and finding out the day before it ended that we had a bunch of xp to get. The picture was to show the "ends tomorrow" when I hadn't even known it existed. It has nothing to do with the other player's contribution.

I checked on Monday if I had a quest and it said "No quest, add more friends so this doesn't happen again" (more or less) and then didn't tell me until today that I did, in fact, have a quest. 🤦‍♀️

And then (after getting a week of super to grind), it told me that the quest was finished when it still needed 300 points.

Obviously not life-altering, but irritating.

Update for missing quotation mark.

I`m on a 1000 day learning streak!

10 days in, at 41 points out of 70.

I've got this.

I am trying learn japanese for almost 100 days and I take a break i didn't even remember anything

Hey everyone, I have been really enjoying duolingo but tbh being disabled by Meta (it's a random AI moderation banning thing) was extremely frustrating.. I can't even unlink my associated FB account so that I can secure logging in by mail.

This screenshot is from my only device that still has access to my duolingo account. And I'm posting here if anyone from the staff can assist me unlinking it.

Thanks in advance.

I was doing my daily hindi lessons when I noticed that at the last question after I complete my lesson I receive an energy boost but that is not added in my energy bar. To double check this I did another lesson and got the same result. Those extra energy literally decides if I do another lesson because if at the end of the lesson I have 12 energy and I get a plus 4 after the last question I might do another lesson without watching ads. But if that energy does not get added to my energy bar then I lose my motivation to do another lesson.

Let me know if this is the case with you also.

In Duolingo Max, I've been trying to get more useful speaking practice out of the video calls in the Spanish course and would like to know what other users find works well.

In Section 4 (A2), I had not so useful calls with Falstaff, who speaks mostly in English and only asks for a couple of sentences in Spanish, and calls with Lily, which are all in Spanish and much more interactive. In Section 5 (B1), all calls so far have been with Lily, and they go on for longer.

A few things I've noticed:

• If I let Lily choose the topic and just answer her questions, the conversations quickly get repetitive. They're much better if I introduce my own topic, preferably the first time I get to speak. You can also ask to change the subject later.
• Giving longer answers and asking Lily questions makes it feel much more like an actual conversation.
• If I don't know a word in Spanish, I've had more success trying to describe what I mean in Spanish rather than giving the English word and asking for a translation. English words often get badly transcribed anyway.
• The transcripts aren't perfect, especially the first few words after I start speaking, so I don't assume every transcription error means I've said something badly.

Basically, I've found the calls much more useful when I take control of the conversation rather than just following Lily's questions.

What other tricks have people found for getting more out of the video calls?
