    I enjoyed their Spanish course and did it everyday for like 3 years. I got ticked when they took away my golden owl for completing all the courses when they started adding new stuff and added more pay to win type things. I was glad they added new things, but I didn’t like them yanking my achievement.

    Whatever this thing with Duo is, it also seems to be something centered around X, as most content about it seems sources from there and now they are showing him having been hit by a cyber truck… Both of which make me enjoy this campaign even less.

    I miss old Duolingo.

      Yep, they are a publicly traded company now. The shareholders demand more profit every quarter.

      Want to really learn a language?

      Watch this short video :https://youtu.be/E6588DlZW-c

      Search : language transfer app/site, comprehensible input + target language (ie: Spanish), cognates.

        Lol so much polite sass! Good ad transition as well. Bravo.

        I do a lot of things in an introverted way, but I learned I do way better learning with another human being. Not that I disagree with anything in his video. I’ve tried his method for learning music, but I’ve had so much better luck with in person lessons just because I can interrupt right away when I don’t get something and have them explain it in different words until it gets through. They can also observe me, and catch me before I get something wrong ingrained in my brain or push me to work on weak areas of my studies.

        I still do a lot of musical and other learning how the video talks about though. Good stuff for anyone interested.
