Daily Progress Comparison, i.e. me "vs" other Duolingo user

I admit I'm rather competitive. Those Diamond League competitions motivate me to put effort into my daily Duolingo visits. They also help me throttle back when I know that there is absolutely no way I will keep up with a bot putting in 10-thousand XP per day. Why somebody would use a bot to drive up...

Amusing: Literal Translation Stated As Incorrect

I find it amusing when Duolingo marks a literal translation from French to English as incorrect. I flag my answer as should have been accepted, but I will be surprised if anybody is in Duolingocorps to note or act on the flag. "J'ai besoin d'aide, s'il vous plaît" literally translates as &...

Re: French tree adjusted

As of today, I still have guidebooks in my Serpent de la français. It appears that some of you are experiencing Duolingo's random beta testing in the wild process. Bad thing is that after they test ideas in the wild, they tend to distribute them system wide. Ever since Duolingo went public, it appea...

Re: Mission Creep

Wow. I should check into this forum more often! I received a few responses since my irate post. Yes. One needs operating capital to pay all the folks. However the model changed after Duolingo became public (NASDAQ: DUOL, opened at $136 today). Beside an outlay for operations, Duolingo needs to incre...

Mission Creep

Is it me? Or is Duolingo experiencing mission creep and drifting more toward profit-driven goals and away from Luis von Ahn's original mission to offer everyone a chance for a free language education: "no hidden fees, no premium content, just free." The mission above comes directly from Du...
