Korean stories are gone [edit: they are back!]

Post by PtolemysXX »

:?: After transition to the new learning path I cannot find the Korean stories any more. They are supposed to be placed inline with other lessons. I can see stories in my other paths but not in the Korean path. Has anybody else experienced the same? I know the stories still exist because I can access them on https://www-internal.duolingo.com/stories

[edit: the stories are back! See my post from 9.12.2023]

I searched Reddit’s r/Duolingo quickly, it seems a few other people also are having the same problem as you.

You can try submitting a bug report to Duolingo here, but you might just have to continue to learn the Korean stories using internal Duolingo.

It is worth a try submitting a bug report, but Duolingo doesn’t seem to fix their problems quickly.

Update: the Korean stories are gone altogether. They are available neither on the path, nor on the tree. Strangely, I can find no comments about it on the web. The last time someone mentioned the disappearance of Korean stories was some 6 months ago. Nothing since then. As if some invisible hand were erasing all relevant posts... I began to doubt whether the stories really existed - maybe I was just daydreaming. I wasn't. I did them all. I checked my notes and although I do not have any screenshots I did document the titles of most of the stories and recorded some vocabulary. I am listing the titles here (some are missing) with the hope that someone can locate the stories somewhere or provide some hints what happened to them...

I realize that depending on the browser, operating system, maybe some other factors voice will be missing. I have the same problem with some other languages; it may also happen that google uses a wrong language scheme for voice generation and what comes out is pure garbage...
This is just an attempt on my part to see whether the automatic speech generator can produce any useful result. That's arguable. It is definitely not nearly so good as the original duolingo stories. Anyway, since this story is the only one I could find on the web there will be no follow up :D

It was great of you using this tag, I didn't know about it! So it was interesting for me to "discover" it ;)

At first, when I heard nothing, I thought that that might have to do with the code, that is was something pasted from a different kind of page, but when I saw the tag it seemed obvious that it should have worked and so I tried with Chrome, where it did work.

Well, some audio is better than none. I would have imagined that Google's audio would have been better than Duo's! I found your observation surprising.

I didn't comment it, but I thought it… one done, twenty more to go! Too bad that this was the only copy you found. I am sure that sooner or later they will start to be published at the unofficial site.

Eventhough I understand that bringing a lot of text, sentences, etc in here can be… I don't know what word to use… like bothersome to others at times, it's in situations like these that I see the value of rescuing them and posting them in here.
