    I got so sad hearing that after 1300 days of streak and 9 years of subscription 😢

      In case you want to learn Spanish, “Dreaming Spanish” on Youtube is better🙃

    After 400 days of Duolingo, I’m more interested in the app for maintaining my consistency. I’ve linked several habits to the Duolingo lesson. 😅

    I dropped Duo after they fired most of their staff and switched to AI. Computers don’t need a paycheck, people do.

      you’d do that for duo but you won’t for Google or Facebook. Do you really care about this?

      @RyotaMitarai  wow, you’re so edgy with that comment! Did that make you feel better? You should go on one of those psychic shows since you think you know everything, Gerald.

      I don’t use Google or Facebook, genius. Grow up and stop pretending your imagination is reality.

      @@Kadiowads not in the slightest, there are better language learning apps out there that have a higher accuracy rating. I just looked them up instead of just picking the most common one because of a snarky green owl.

      @ Bro if you don’t use Google then I admire you. So you never used Search function of the Internet at all? All chromium browsers use Google framework and rules. What the heck are you using to log into YouTube. Expecting common sense is not some psychic magic smartass
