Duolingo's leagues are CHANGING ๐Ÿ˜ฏ๐Ÿ‘€

holaaa ๐Ÿ‘‹ have you received this new update to Duolingo's leagues? ๐Ÿ† I finally got it over the weekend on iOS i've seen it being teased by a few Duolingo users over on the subreddit over the last couple of months for the longest time I thought it was just some weird visual change but then they discussed it at Duocon... and it looks like it's going to be quite a bit more than that... new-look leagues basically Duolingo is changing the way they organise their leagues. the first obvious change is...

Duolingo just made a game-changing tweak... ๐Ÿš€

Ciao ๐Ÿ‘‹ have you seen the latest change on Duolingo? ๐Ÿค” seems to have gone a bit under the radar, but itโ€™s actually a pretty significant tweak some have received it, others haven't but either way, itโ€™s really important to be aware of, especially if you care about your XP... PROMO Studies show that the best way to learn a language is to ditch the textbooks and focus on doing stuff you enjoy. But the thing is, you can't just read a book or watch a TV show in another language straight away......

Duolingo... that was BRILLIANT ๐Ÿ‘

hollaaaa ๐Ÿ‘‹ did you manage to catch any of Duocon 2024? ๐Ÿค” it finished a couple of hours ago and I'm still trying to catch my breath they covered so much in such a short space of time it was definitely one of the best Duocons they've ever done really clear, concise, to the point... and loads of cool features to chew over there wasn't really much of a preview for what's to come ((at times they were talking as though some of these features hadn't been out for months already!)) but it was still a...

another new feature for Duolingo Max... ๐Ÿ“ฒ

Ciao ๐Ÿ‘‹ At long last Duolingo is finally showing some love to it's premium subscription tier, Duolingo Max it's still only available on IOS devices in specific countries ((more on that here)) but at least now Duolingo is starting to flesh out the features and make them available on more courses and in the last week, the roll out continued... what happened? you may remember that, for a long time, Duolingo Max was only available on Spanish and French a few weeks ago some of the Max features...

BIG news about Duolingo Max... ๐Ÿ‘€

hola ๐Ÿ‘‹ Duolingo Max hasn't exactly had the best of starts to life ๐Ÿ™ƒ it launched well over a year ago and hasn't received any significant updates the take-up hasn't been great either, with most users considering the monthly price to be wayyyyy too high and if that wasn't enough, its reputation took a further hit a few weeks ago when Duolingo decided to make 'unlimited hearts' a Max-only feature... ๐Ÿ™ˆ as you can probably remember, people were FUMING ๐Ÿ˜ค well, I've got two pieces of good news to...

how to make your Duolingo league easier... ๐Ÿ˜ฏ

Ciao ๐Ÿ‘‹ we've all been there: sweating away in the last hours of the Diamond league, hoping to snatch the top spot ๐Ÿฅต it can be hard going, especially when the XP totals are so high it kinda takes away the fun of both the learning and the competing, forcing you to take shortcuts to earn as much XP as possible ๐Ÿ˜” well... what if there was a way you could go back to good old-fashioned learning... while still being competitive in your leagues? ๐Ÿง for this you'd need to get yourself into some more...

Duolingo's got a NEW type of streak... ๐Ÿ”ฅ ๐Ÿ‘€

Ciao ๐Ÿ‘‹ habit is everything when it comes to learning a language we all know it's a marathon, not a sprint that's why Duolingo wants you to keep your streak flame burning for as long as possible the bigger the streak gets, the less you wanna lose it to help with this, Duolingo introduced the streak society, giving you cool perks and rewards the bigger your streak grows and this week, they've added something else to keep you ((and your friends)) coming back... PROMO Ready to become...

how many quests?! ๐Ÿ˜ณ

Ciao ๐Ÿ‘‹ challenges are good youโ€™ve gotta have a goal something to motivate you and push you forward thatโ€™s something Duolingo ((kinda)) gets right with its monthly challenge badges They donโ€™t mean much in the grand scheme of things but yanno โ€” itโ€™s something extra a nice little bonus to sweeten the pot thing is, we all know Duolingo has a tendency to go too far sometimes... and not explain the changes they're making and, true to form, this month they've gone and done it again... ๐Ÿ˜‚ new month,...

5 signs you're a Duolingo addict ๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ๐Ÿ’ช

ciao ๐Ÿ‘‹ a couple of weeks ago I somehow managed to hit my 8-year streak on Duolingo 8.BLOODY.YEARS. ๐Ÿคฆโ™‚๏ธ like seriously... at what point do I need to get a life? ๐Ÿ˜‚ it did genuinely get me thinking... 8 years is a seriously long time --and I know people with streaks that are EVEN LONGER ๐Ÿ˜ณ-- what is it about Duolingo that keeps us coming back? is it the languages... or something else? it's different for everyone for me, it's all about the streak for others, it's winning the game either way, here...
