Duolingo's BIGGEST trap... 😯
Fluent in Weird. I am absolutely EXHAUSTED. 12-hour night shifts. no breaks. crap sleep. hay fever kicking the sh*t out of me. 😩 but for some reason, despite all of that, i still dragged myself to the gym. not because i wanted to - but because i felt like i had to. and yeah, i managed to bash out a decent 90-minute session. got through everything. even set a new deadlift PR. 💪 but honestly? i didn’t feel any better for it. no satisfaction. no buzz. just more tired than when i started. 😩...

does Duolingo work? 🤔
Fluent in Weird. why did you start using Duolingo? 🤔 Seriously. What was the spark? A few weeks ago, I asked 50 of my most dedicated readers the same thing. And while the answers varied slightly, the heart of it was almost always the same: “I just love the idea of knowing another language.” 🗣️ For some, the goal was straight-up fluency. For others, just being able to understand what people are saying was enough. And a bunch just wanted to keep their brain active and acquire a brand new...
THIS leads to Duolingo burnout... 😩
Fluent in Weird. he was FUMING... 😤 it's always funny when my mate loses his sh*t but I must admit, on this occasion, even I felt his pain. basically, James gets his weekly meals from this company called HelloFresh you pick your meals online, they send you the ingredients and recipes in the post. easy peasy. he's been doing it for years and usually raves about them 👌 (even got me signed up a year or so ago. but they expected me to mash my own potatoes. so obviously I gave up) anyway, the...

is Duolingo scrapping the heart system? 😯
Fluent in Weird. the heart system has long been one of Duolingo's most controversial features 😬 initially, Duolingo said it was designed to discourage binging but come on... we all know EXACTLY what it's for: it's designed to get free members to become paying members and how does it do this? by punishing mistakes eek but (at long last) it seems that might be about to change... 👀 Sponsored by: 1440 News.

Fluent in Weird. a lot of people start Duolingo the same way... full of motivation flying through lessons climbing the leagues unlocking achievements like a machine it feels like real progress until… it doesn’t 😐 the course ends the new content dries up and suddenly you're just refreshing old lessons like it's Duolingo groundhog day 🐿️ and that’s when the dilemma kicks in: 🔥 you want to keep your streak alive 💪 you want to stay competitive in the leagues but deep down? you also want to keep...

what my dog taught me about Duolingo 🐾
Fluent in Weird. my childhood dog, Neula, passed away a few years ago 😔 she was a great girl absolutely loved her to bits but my god, she could be hard work 😂 seriously, don't fall for that butter-wouldn't-melt face - she was once described as the 'devil dog' by a police kennel assistant (no joke) she used to absolutely love my mum's attention - sometimes a bit too much... even when she was starving, she wouldn't eat unless my mum literally fed her and I don't mean "here's a treat from my...
Duolingo's really pushing this feature... 📹
Fluent in Weird. the first time i went to Italy after learning the language, i was buzzing. i was there for the Italian Grand Prix at Monza. 🏁 the night i landed, my mate and i grabbed a pint at some random bar in Bergamo. i’d been learning Italian on Duolingo for about 18 months. felt like i knew my stuff. had the vocab. knew the rules. i was ready. 😎 so i walked up to the bar... tried to speak to the guy behind it... and… nothing. I could barely squeeze out a simple “buongiorno.” 🙈 he just...
