itt: stories of yr attempts to master tongues via DUOLINGO

Anyway still amazes me how okay to good some of the courses are for small of the smaller languages except for Hungarian which is the worst course ever.

Still fascinated by this: https://forward.com/culture/140080/doubling-dutch/

It’s XP Happy Hour into 8PM!

Reached a 2000 day streak today.

🎉🎊

Should have been
🎉👏💯

So even though Duolingo runs its leagues on a weekly basis I’ve adopted a multi-week strategy that’s been working really well for me. I can explain if anyone wants to know more.

Clozemaster just did an upgrade again

Spent about 30plus weeks in Diamond League, now taking a staycation in Obsidian.

Forum being deleted in a few days:
https://forum.duolingo.com/comment/55930597/Important-updates-to-Duolingo-forums

welsh course just got reasonably big update though, which was what I was going to check.

Norwegian supposed go get an update too.

And Golden Owl trophy is now some kind of pale blue geode.

Lots of forum stuff being moved here: https://duolinguists.wordpress.com/

tbh seems to be a nicer interface than the current implementation.

Other stuff was already here: https://duolingo.fandom.com/wiki/Duolingo_Wiki

And here are some Welsh course books: https://learnwelsh.cymru/learning/curriculum-and-course-books/

Ah so the forum proper is now gone. Sentence discussions remain, but they are locked.

Quick maintenance break!
Duolingo will be back up soon. We’ve protected your streak today just in case!

An old Duo bug has resurfaced where it doesn’t always show points properly without some kind of forced refresh.

if duolingo had a messaging function, i would give ol bezos a piece of my mind.

but instead i will have to settle for crushing bezos in the pearl league, which i believe to be the top duolingo league

Um, uh, Karl, … there’s something you should know.

james, just let me have this one thing ok

i've never listened to that song, but my first reaction is that it's amazing in how it starts kind of interesting and just gets worse and worse as it goes

even better than dido

Replacing broken link of review of Czech course: https://duolingo.hobune.stream/comment/26091495

Glossika iOS app just dropped.

they have nynorsk but duolingo is bokmål. i am on day 260.

Forgot about the Norwegian. The weird thing is that neither one is actually the spoken language, I don't think.

Think it is probably definitely better than Duo for several languages, but it has to be used correctly.

Have you looked at Siri Hustvedt's dad's grammar book yet?

Her mom seems interesting too.

Forgot about this dictionary: https://www.sprakradet.no/

Some kind of crazy new color scheme and resizing of panels in Drops that is hurting my eyes.

Still, kind of find trying to learn languages that are not on Duolingo.

Kind of fun

but instead i will have to settle for crushing bezos in the pearl league, which i believe to be the top duolingo league

so, i have been continually duolingoing, enough to know that obsidian league is where you go to chill for a week after you've been bad

i always have suspected that some of the other people in the leagues were bots, but on sunday i had an hour left and was desparately scrambling to get out of the demotion zone with 2 or 3 other very conspicuous late stragglers who were climbing up the demotion zone with me. i thought i was in the clear so i quit about 10 minutes before the deadline. big mistake.

*chills in obsidian zone*

I've been spending time in Pearl when I really need a break.

After all these years really finally starting to chafe at the way the gamification works. I can elaborate if you want.

oh please do
