All things Duolingo related!
Duo's also on the app trend of year end reviews and wrap ups, so I thought I'd share mine. I kept up the habit, though I started doing the music lessons too as a break in language lessons all the time.
Also, just wtf is going on in the art department over there? Why is Duo's lil green butt featured so prominently?
Why is Duo’s ass so prominent in all the pictures? Same for mine. I didn’t even know owls had Glutes
There is more duo ass in the wrap up too:
Duo doesn't usually even have legs! He's just a little shield-shape with two beans for feet, what workout routine is delivering all that cake?
Woo 🥳 Well done! Mine specifically says I'm a "Top 1% Japanese learner" so I'm guessing it narrows it down if your "overall" percentage isn't impressive enough. 😅
You put up +80k XP in a single year, kudos
That's a big potato
Hey nice! Congratulations! Maybe if you only do lessons in one subject it rates you more specifically?
That's a crazy long streak
Duo helped me through lock down and I've just barely managed to hold onto it since. I've seriously been minutes away from losing it. It's become a meta game in itself, the only thing that keeps me using the app sometimes.
Do you feel you've actually improved your language skills?
A qualified yes. Ich spreche jetze ein bisschen Deutsch. But not enough to feel confident for a C2 yet, and that's after like 2 years of study. But I also average like 5 to 7 minutes a day, so it's my fault for moving at a snail's pace. I don't think it's necessarily the best way to learn a language but it does teach it. And just practicing other languages helps me feel smarter in a way, exercises the brain.
