so I use the duolingo app version 3.106.5 (the last one with the normal design) and since recently it no longer works properly, for example you have a skill that's at 0/4, you do a lesson and it goes to 1/4 but then immediately reverts to 0/4 tho it still registers in the system that you've done a lesson and apparently extends the streak as well
I tried version 4.18.4 (which is already with health) and there it still doesn't work so apparently there's no way to avoid health on the app anymore (except maybe downloading the cracked duolingo plus app? have to try that)
Works so far without the new path/snake (old tree design), even the path was finally rolled out on the duolingo com Web portal to all school classrooms (old design flag is gone in the school settings) on 4. January 2023.
I am leaving duolingo after 633 days, new changes (refill) makes it difficult to continue am in search for an alternate app. Please suggest
some app who dont make frequent changes to their learning module.
I use duolingo as an adult and none of it bothers me, but I can see that it would have bothered me with my children under a certain age - especially when the characters are lying to impress someone (yes i am a doctor and i have expensive pants. oh good, someone is very sick and needs help. oh, i am not a doctor). as an adult I thought the story was funny/stupid but made sense with vocab taught. But yeah, I can see that would have bothered me enough to not want to use it with my younger children back in the day (depending on their age of course). and I can see where some parents wouldn't be bothered.
There are also sentences about alcohol... I let my then-11-year-old continue but it made me slightly uncomfortable to see that some sentences were about beer or whiskey. He thought the sentences about dating were funny, but I could see how that would bother some parents. There are also sentences that are just kind of morbid...something like "Everyone has to die." Eventually it got a bit more difficult for him than he was really enjoying, and he stopped doing it. If you google "Weird duolingo sentences" you will see humorous/odd examples. There are a lot of things that are just funny and maybe don't really make sense. I think it is on purpose to make it more memorable, but it could be confusing to some kids in general.
That's fine that it doesn't bother others. As an adult learner using duolingo, I do have the context of whips and leather. I'll be skipping over that story. I googled and found title and glad to have the warning. Given the group of adults I use duolingo with for learning Spanish, HR would probably tell one of us it was inappropriate and definitely awkward for our workplace setting to practice that story together. But we are adults with the content so the innuendo is there. NSFW therefore I appreciate the OP sharing.
edit to add: and in today's group learning time with other adults, we found out the word that duolingo uses in Spanish for "jacket" is not to be used according to the native speakers who mentor us. It's morphed into a vulgar expression in many Latin American cultures. so yeah, even we're thinking of finding something other than duolingo to use.
Description of the issue:
In twitter, videos are really slow, like framed. And in duolingo when you have to say at loud a phrase microphone dont catch the sound and the phrase goes wrong.
