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.

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