Re: Word matching exercise highlights English foibles

Those word match exercises are pretty ridiculous as there is no example sentence, no context. I didn't find them very useful for the Portuguese course. And as any vocabulary which gets brought up is pretty random, the app is always pestering me with very easy words - NOT being on a low strength leve...

gmads There is a difference between "Clear cache" and "Clear data". Offline (cached lesson) data was previously available on the old Android apps which supported the tree and they got bigger and bigger. So from time to time it made sense to delete all Duolingo data. V5.73.2 does...

Re: Anyway to disabel French punctuation for answers?
