Re: Romani translator

Romani is used by the Roma people to communicate between different families or clans travelling through Europe. It is an Eastern-Romance language with Romanian as its only more widely spoken sister language. The phonology sounds familiar if you speak Italian, but even so, it is impossible to grasp t...

Re: Je suis tout confondu

Imho 'tout' should not be considered a pronoun. It generally is an adjective, the 'neutral' male singular form is used whenever 'tout' is used as an adverb, as in the example: 'Je suis tout confondu' : I am completely confused. As many adjectives, it can be used independently, hence as a noun. J'ai ...

Re: Je suis tout confondu

'tout' is not a pronoun. Therefore it follows the conjugated verb (while pronouns generally precede the verb).

Je dirai tout : I will tell everything.
Je suis tout confondu: I am completely confused.

The word 'tout' is in the same position as its counterpart in the English translation.

Re: Why are my Crown counts different on "/progress" and main pages of my profile?

As you view your profile on DuoMe, you get a crown count for your active course (the one you last learned). This is identical to what the OP Gentianopsis observes on the progress page.

Re: Cannot remove course

I had to complete one exercise and then I could remove the course. The reason I wanted to erase it was because it wouldn't give me the chance to start at a higher level. So, in one way, it does make sense that you can't remove a course if you have 0 points, but then there are other bugs lingering a...

In a quest to go down all the way, the best method is to do one 'repeat lesson' (5 XP + max 5XP bonus) on Monday during the day. So you get listed into a league. Then you switch to 'private' for the remainder of the week and do as many lessons as you deem useful. They won't count for the league. Whe...
