    Having heard very mixed things about Duolingo's actual usefulness, does your wife speak or write well in any of the languages she's used the app to learn?

      The aggressive notifications to do a lesson are literally why I use it. I have ADHD. Without the owl threatening to kill me and everyone I know, I would forget about it and forget all that I've learned so far. 😔

        I think posting your high score might make people want to top you.

          I stopped using duolingo a couple years ago because I noticed I was just doing the bare minimum to maintain my streak instead of actually learning something new.

            Man I love to see that abusive Owl grovel. I also did this, good on you OP, may they see a consequence for threatening something good for the sake of greed. Eventually nothing is enough for the managers and they burn the whole thing down because of their personal addiction. This harms lives. We need to jail CEOs abusing power this way, that's the actual remedy.

                Gamification including social aspects if you're a regular app user.

                Abusive ex if you aren't a regular user.

                The only way it could get worse is if they put a slot machine or roulette wheel in to give you prizes.

                I fucking hate the gamification they did to Khan Academy. Just give me the knowledge map back.

                      One notification like this and your app immediately gets notification permission revoked on my phone (if not uninstalled).

                      Most users aren't logical or sane like you, so this notification may actually catch their eye in their notification tray with 8k other notifications from cancer apps.

                        What is the actual point of a streak?

                        A sense of pride and accomplishment?

                                    There's no way it'll have the language I'm learning any time soon lol. Duolingo is literally it besides traveling there and talking to locals

                                        It's a modern language with a country that speaks it as a primary language, but it's not as widely learned so I don't want to doxx myself. Duolingo is the only one that has more than a beginner's level in this language. Beyond that I have to actually talk to people, like with italki. That's going to be hard because I don't even like talking on the language learning discord lol. I need to know it for my future plans, but that isn't overcoming my introverted desire to not talk to people.
