Just for fun, I made a placement test of Portuguese from French. In DuoMe it is possible to view the classic tree structure. You can see how DL bestows 150 (out of 414) crowns upon a novice learner with some prior knowledge (I am learning PT from ES). https://i.imgur.com/fUDI4Cl.png To 49 skills thr...

In the new path (snake) configuration, a placement test allows you testing out of several units. These units are not really coinciding with skills but are definitely more concise than Duolingo chapters used to be. After a placement test any access to previous content ("basic" for you accor...

As a Dutch speaking Belgian, three foreign languages are barely enough to talk to the neighbors. Brussels takes 40 min and Paris takes 90 min by train, travelling to London or Cologne takes about twice as much time. My quotum is exhausted with only French, English and German. I would need to ditch m...

Im Juli 2011 wurde das Space Shuttle Progam der NASA beendet. Auch vordem gab es nur noch zwei operationelle Space Shuttles. Während einiger Jahre war die russische Sojus das einzige Raumschiff, das die Internationale Raumstation erreichen konnte.

The change of summer time to winter time in Europe is always tricky. At the start of winter time, activity in the previous week is reassigned to 24 hours periods, not to calendar days.

The owls have flown. In the best case, a single test may bring the trophy back. But all skills were gold and the first half of them were purple/legendary. In less fortunate cases (blue/red owls) a lot of the path is grey and I frenetically continue making skill tests to get close to the end of the c...

If it only concerns ordering progress among your own courses, XP inflation should not matter too much. Unless you have a very different 'learning style' on one single course (focusing on XP rather than crowns and using the app instead of the website) your XP/Crown will remain in a certain range. Cou...

In about any course, my XP/crown ratio is on the low side (when checked with 'peers' on DuoMe). Placement tests may explain that for courses on owl-level 1. Yet using the website rather than the app makes a huge difference as well. No XP farming here. Several of my courses don't have stories and for...

Just tried occitan and had 58/60. Guess the DL Catalá course helped.. and yes I'm fluent in Spanish and French. I expected it to be closer to Catalan but it turned out there was more French in it .

You can also listen to English podcasts for Spanish speakers. The narrator then speaks Spanish and the guests speak slow English.
I never received any XP for listening to podcasts. I'm doing DL on the website and podcasts are on another URL web address.

For participating in events/classes you get XP.

It is interesting to check the distribution of learners among the courses from different languages. For example among all the courses learning German, the course from English has a 61% share.

Duolingo gives you the number of people who started a course and at least did one lesson. (A course may disappear from your profile after being idle for some weeks.) Doing the placement test keeps you safe as well. DuoMe lists the learners who attained at least level 2 for any given course they lear...
