Thank you. Very informative and helpful.

Thanks for posting this. You convinced me to upgrade!!

Your students indeed will be blown away! Bon voyage à tous! Instead of the commons, can you simply use your classroom projector?

sooo coool

What's the name of the art project? I love it. Was wondering if I could try it in my class. They are beautiful.

🎉🎉Amazing 🎉🎉

So what happens to the students on top 3? is there like a duolingo feature or does the leader board just reset?

Excellent !

I'm "the other person" who’s watching the video!

The adaptation for Japanese class is great! Upside, downside, hold back, and move forward!

Thank you for the video. I use games and group activities a lot in my classess, and students love them. But being shy and reserved is the only problem that keeps in most of my students. I guess it has something to do with their personalities and I try not to emphasize that, or change that. But I do know they're less shy when playing with their fellow students so I try to come up with group activities. I would also love to hear more about how you use those games you showed in the video, because Jenga and Uno are not popular here in Uzbekistan. Most of us have never even heard about them. Or should I just google it?

Thanks Madame Sensei! I'll use it in my classes today.

Very real advice

Fun fact...My college roommate wrote and directed this movie!!

What is no looking brother mean? I just wanna know what that means.

I am pretty far and I have a question and my question is I looked at it on my iPad. It didn’t change the learning path yet and gold I wish you did but I’ve gotten as far as you were dead so you have a great content you have a great way how to make your spectacular videos ever that you ever just upload

P r o m o s m 😜

Simply an appalling update. The lack of clarity regarding each unit is a disaster. One doesn’t know what/which aspect is being taught………… and don’t get me started on the notes !!. They are completely useless in their present format. I have advised as many people I know to unsubscribe and use the free version until Dr. V A realizes his mistake or until an alternative learning tool becomes available ala Rosetta Stone and such.

My Duolingo app is no longer showing after unit 13. How can I get unit after unit 13. Please inform me

I have completed 46 units in Duolingo for learning English but new units will not come . What I do now

New system is Terrible for me. The color scheme discussed is off (maybe it is different for school versions). All I can tell is now I can go from Gold check marks to purple Legendary. I was trying to finish level 4s and work my way up to legendary, but now I can only either repeat lessons or 'try' to get legendary. I have a busy life and toddler so sometimes I am multitasking to learn. Now it costs me 'coins' to move up unless I pay for premium. Sad to say my 700+ day practice streak doesn't seem worth it anymore. Makes me sad. Here is a link to go back to old system till the end of the year. kzbin.infoS14J4E7hPVk?feature=share

I’m an adult not a student and I really dislike this update.

It is not just a skin it is much worse. But even if it was just a skin it looks much worse. If it is "just a skin" then what is the whole purpose of this if "nothing changed".

U assign homework with Duolingo? How does it work?

It not just a skin i need 15 minutes scrolling to get from first lesson to last is horrible

This new look sucks! Rip duolingo

The new update is horrible!! 😱

Thanks for the job you are doing, i will look around in your videos to improve my university final proyect. Having said that, i really dont like the new path way in duolingo, i was studing japanese by my own and now my own objectives have gone, i really dont like to have just one way to progress and i think that i will quit duolingo for the moment. Hopefully they will add a way to toggle to the tree way. Have a nice day.

I didn‘t see this coming. The path has been a downward path. I have already started learning further on a different app. I still hope the developers will give us the freedom back like before. Duolingo used to be fun and motivational

🥏🏉🏉

kzbin.info/www/bejne/eXrQkqKYatqIo8k Don't thank me guys

The new update looks like a children’s app. Cute animations and characters won’t help me learn a language.

Se não houver a opção de escolher entre a nova e a antiga, vou parar de usar o app. Vou soltar a coruja após 557 dias de ofensiva!

Well I am panicking there are no labels on the lessons so you don't know what lesson you are doing which is going to make Duolingo almost useless because I have a spreadsheet with all the lessons written out and I tick them off as I repeat the tree

Honestly the progress you’ve already made transitions pretty smoothly if you weren’t completely all over the place. I understand the frustration of not choosing a topic when you want it but all the course work is still there. Honestly after using the update for about 3 months now I prefer it the last version was too all over the place for me looking back but I was pretty upset in the beginning

What about languages that currently don't have tips inside the app. Will they finally have them now? Tip: They should hide the further path that is not unlocked. User should not be able to see other animations and how long the course is. That should motivate them more. Imagine trying to learn french which has more than 100 of these lessons. It is already long, imagine when they make it in a single line. It would take you ages to scroll down to see the bottom.

How do you get that? 😢

Is she mentally impaired?

The new update is horrible

I hateeee hateeee this new update Duolingo team don't have anything better to do? Go!!! work on the Hindi tree or something, don't go change the things those are already working perfect. Most Stupid interface ever. change it back

PREFACE: This is a duplicate post from Duolingo's official announcement on YT, but I felt it was important enough (for me, at least) to post here as well. I really wish user experience and feedback about the new update weren't so blatantly dismissed by Duolingo - - - - I'm getting to the part of the Finnish course where the lessons are starting to introduce too many concepts at the same time for me. If I were going through this for the very first time, I would be getting seriously frustrated and likely would have quit WAY before I could celebrate my now nearing 500-day streak. I've stopped my German course because the PATH totally demotivates me to learn. I really don't understand the new update for the general user base when the HOVER METHOD was proven to be easily applied and effective with the TREE Interface. The TREE allowed for the freedom to self-direct our own way, based on our own learning needs. it was a choice I deeply valued! The PATH should have been kept to the Duolingo For Schools program where younger learners may do better with less distraction. "...if your approach has been to completely “level up” a skill and turn it gold before moving on to the next one, the new path may feel a bit different." It DOES NOT feel a bit different - it feels like a terrible and frustrating loss to those of us who learn better with 'mastering' smaller chunks before moving on to new material. It's not like we didn't go back and practice previous lessons! We were still applying spaced repetition, just not as aggressively as the PATH forces us to. More importantly, we were still learning and developing language retention and FINISHING our courses! ALSO from the Duolingo website: "Everyone learns in different ways." How has Duolingo forgotten this? I've now given the PATH Interface a fair chance for the past 20'sh days, and my opinion hasn't changed from my initial impressions. It sucked then and it continues to suck on so many levels (not even getting into the mystery meat aspect of the interface, how badly transferred the Finnish course appears to be, or how stupidly difficult it is to do any targetted lesson review/practice now... or the removal of paid units for some languages, tips for others, the stories library, etc., or any other perks that some languages had that I don't even know about because not every course is treated equally). Removing freedom and creating barriers to learning is never a good thing, IMO. It's not about change aversion - it's about suffering the loss of an interface that allowed for freedom of self-directed language learning because truly, everyone learns in different ways.

I’m an American English speaker now living in Germany and have been doing the Duolingo German tree. About 9 months ago or sometime in 2021, Duolingo updated the German tree. I was in Unit 6 when this happened. With the update, I pretty much had 2 additional Units to complete. I didn’t mind, it was more lessons. I actually upgraded so I wouldn't need to worry about hearts. One thing I loved about the tree is that i could choose what I wanted to learn based on what I needed. For example , I went to a concert in Berlin, therefore I did the “Concert” lesson. I went to Karneval in Cologne, therefore I did the “Carnival” lessons. Went to the doctor, I could do the “Health” lessons, all while still advancing along my tree. This is completely gone now. Plus the “Flirting” and “Idioms” I bought for German and Spanish are now gone. Not to mention the Stories tab is gone. I’m definitely not renewing my subscription after this new update.

I've noticed that this new layout is just on iPhone and not for the Android. WTF DUOLINGO!!

For people who wants to turn off their new home screen design please check my tutorial on how to do it

I still have multiple paths.

I’ve uninstalled and unsubscribed. Horrible update. Worse learning outcomes. Greedy, arrogant company.

I didnt get the update on iphone 12pro my friend got it but she gas iphone 11 what do i do?

This update was an absolute disaster for the app. There is pretty much an all out revolt of current customers (see the reviews, NBC article) who preferred Duolingo over technically superior programs like Rosetta or Babbel because of the flexibility, control, gamification, and fun it offers. If you take all that out for the sake of attracting new "baby" users, then what's the point? In terms of a linear program, why not just go with Rosetta Stone (B student) or Babbel (A- student) rather than this new cutesie but inferior Duolingo (C- student)?
