I learned that the instrumental case is used as the predicate of the verb быть in the past and future tenses. But I sometimes see examples where the nominative is used. Can anyone explain this? Here is an example from the Russian to English course, модуль 3 раздел 8. The first adjective is in the in...

I have a similar experience to Apsa25, i.e partial updating of stats. In particular on English to Italian the number of skills is stuck on 55. Interestingly the part of the tree that displays the skills progress in detail (in my case indicating Verbs Modal as the last one opened up, although I have ...

I occasionally used 5.65.5 on Android to access the tree. Today I was disappointed to see that it put me into the snake. I tried reinstalling the apk. But after a long time getting started, the snake reappeared again. Presumably the initial delay was caused by new code being downloaded into the app ...

Yesterday I submitted a bug report to Duolingo about this problem. By then I had brought the relevant units (9, 10, 11) on the path up to legendary status also. So I asked that my user profile be adjusted to show that I had completed the Groceries skill. I didn't get a reply, but today I find what s...

Please don't feel the need to apologise @PtolemysXX. It was very good of you to engage with me on this problem.

I have decided for now just to get on with finishing all the new lessons and completing the course up to legendary via the path.

Murt_O_Se

PtolemysXX Thanks again for all your suggestions. Sadly I’ve already gone down those routes without success. I found 3 different url references for this skill on the path by hovering over the 3 dots under the skill in the Duome progress page. These include the 2 links you mentioned. FYI these 3 lin...

How about using this link on a computer? I tried it again just now. The same set of questions as before and I...

Thomas.Heiss "It is purple L0 crown level now, isn't it?" Yes it is on Duome. But not on the old app, where it shows as full purple. "Which means you can start a new lesson on the old Android app for the tree." No I can't. I have app version 5.65.5. That gives me access to the o...

Thomas.Heiss wrote Duome checks the missing _lessons variable which you can find in the "extended user profile" for that skill. It is nested within the language ru object in the JSON stream. OK, I’ve spent a few hours investigating my extended user profile. My first time ever! I’m trying ...

Thank you PtolemysXX . I already tried that lesson and several other variations. The problem is that all my efforts are treated as practice exercises, as some setting in Duolingo obviously thinks I completed the skill (as indeed I have, to L6). But there must be some other setting that Duome uses to...

The English to Russian course has just been updated from 79 skills to 95. It seems that some of the existing skills were also modified, as I’ve lost over 40 legendary crowns. All but one of those were reset to L5 gold, which is not too bad. But one of them (Groceries) was reset to L0 because of some...

Murt_O_Se

Yes @GrahamW , that makes sense. I often noticed a time lag of several days before the crowns total on the main Duome page caught up with that on the Progress page. But I thought it might be random. Maybe it’s more regular.

Murt_O_Se

Just to be clear. The old app shows all the existing skills as purple on my tree. And I can work as normal on the new ones. But Duome shows most of the previously purple ones as golden and Groceries as L0.

Murt_O_Se

Yes, I lost legendary level in over 40 skills. In one of them (Groceries) I have been reduced to level 0 according to Duome. The worst of it is that I cannot redo it since the system is obviously confused. One part of it thinks I've completed this skill, as indeed I have. So it only presents me with...

Hi Thomas, I am using V5.65.5 of the old app on an Android phone (for the tree) and also a newer version of the app on a different Android phone (for the path). My combined usage of these worked out quite well on the English to Italian course that I began a few months ago. I did the initial placemen...

Murt_O_Se

Yes, I noticed some of those new details too. Overall it's good to see new material. After completing the original version of this course I looked for variety in some other languages paired with Russian. So I did a lot on Russian to French and some Russian to German and to Spanish. I expected lots o...

Today I found that the English to Russian course has suddenly changed quite significantly. Maybe not everyone will see this at the same time, as Duolingo rolls out course revisions to users in several waves. There are now 95 skills, previously 79. I began by testing at level 1 through a few of the n...

Murt_O_Se

That's interesting. I've not noticed any increase in word account after hitting maximum lexeme count in the courses I've done. However several of them have introduced new course versions and then the lexeme count and word count rise again until I finish the new skills to at least level 1. But maybe ...

Murt_O_Se

Thanks for the reply. It addresses in a general way the distinction between words and lexemes. But my question relates to how different users can end up with different counts for the same amount of course coverage.

Murt_O_Se

I am puzzled by how users end up with different word (vocab) counts for a given lexeme count in a Duome table for a specific language pair. I could understand if there had been several revisions to the course and that lexemes were counted from the current version and words for all versions. So in th...
