Duolingo's got a NEW scoring system 😯

hola πŸ‘‹ sorry I couldn't write last week, I was having too much fun in Naples πŸ‘Œ we had the absolute BEST time as planned, I unashamedly had pizza pretty much every day (on one of the days I actually had pizza breakfast, lunch and dinner πŸ˜‚) I just couldn't help myself -- and every single one tasted incredible! 0 regrets πŸ™…β™‚οΈ towards the end of our trip, we started thinking about where to go next and it looks like we're going to try Zurich in January πŸ‡¨πŸ‡­ officially it's a German-speaking city, so...

Duolingo... but with YouTube videos? πŸ‘€

Ciao πŸ‘‹ it feels like i'm recommending this more and more at the moment... it's something I've been using on and off alongside Duolingo for YEARS 😯 Duolingo's always been my primary tool but this one has always been there right alongside it i've been using it loads over the last couple of weeks as I'm jetting off to Naples tomorrow ((gotta brush up on that Italiano 🀌)) and following some recent updates, it's better than ever before... "it's like Duolingo, but with stuff you're interested in"...

Duolingo's leagues are CHANGING πŸ˜―πŸ‘€

holaaa πŸ‘‹ have you received this new update to Duolingo's leagues? πŸ† 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... πŸš€

Ciao πŸ‘‹ have you seen the latest change on Duolingo? πŸ€” seems to have gone a bit under the radar, but it’s actually a pretty significant tweak some have received it, others haven't but either way, it’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 πŸ‘

hollaaaa πŸ‘‹ did you manage to catch any of Duocon 2024? πŸ€” 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...

Ciao πŸ‘‹ 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... πŸ‘€

hola πŸ‘‹ Duolingo Max hasn't exactly had the best of starts to life πŸ™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... πŸ™ˆ as you can probably remember, people were FUMING 😀 well, I've got two pieces of good news to...

how to make your Duolingo league easier... 😯

Ciao πŸ‘‹ we've all been there: sweating away in the last hours of the Diamond league, hoping to snatch the top spot πŸ₯΅ 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 πŸ˜” well... what if there was a way you could go back to good old-fashioned learning... while still being competitive in your leagues? 🧐 for this you'd need to get yourself into some more...

Duolingo's got a NEW type of streak... πŸ”₯ πŸ‘€

Ciao πŸ‘‹ 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...
