Duolingo: Making millions out of you

[@Noinoanoe]

Duolingo treats each region differently. If I’m in Indonesia, low-middle income country, the unlimited hearts are free. But when I’m in U.S., i have to pay to get that unlimited hearts.

[@slidebean]

Oh this is a very interesting insight - didn't know that!

[@lemster101]

It's pretty cool they do that. In Australia unlimited hearts are also a paid feature.

[@Arkenism]

Same for in India

[@miamor5929]

Whoa ! Respect ✊

[@regisegek4675]

In HUngary we get same treatment as the US, and so unlimited hearts paid feature, or maybe on PC/browser version there arent, on phone i checked in browser(Brave), PC too(Firefox) , there were hearts although when i get free 3 days, i push for progress if RL allows, then if i lose heart not big deal, i have quite some lessons to do the training feature duolingo has

Duolingo should add a Tinder-like tandem option, that makes users find matches of people wanting to learn their language, while explaining theirs own. This might even end up being yet another revenue stream

[@TheGamingAlong]

To be honest, I don't mind becoming a volunteer and letting duolingo monetize on it because it helps more people learning my language.

[@lukepascal6023]

I used Duolingo a while back. It's helpful when used in conjunction with practice with others. Using it on it's own, however, wasn't helpful. There really is no substitute for actual practice. I could see this potentially being for a classroom environment where the HW is Duolingo assignments and then you practice what you learned in class with your peers.

Try TalkEng. It's a start-up too, available currently only on Android.

Yes. This is true.

Let's not kid ourselves. It's a money making company who won't really focus on education other than as a niche to set themselves in. Like most apps. Successful as a business, yes. Successful as education material, a little

I’m a Duolingo fan & a user. I’m trying to learn Spanish & at some degree it’s useful in basic level for travelling.

[@blueoceanvalley45465]

I used duolingo, and I’ll say this, if you want to learn a language, there is no easy route.

[@AbhinavKulshreshtha]

I tried Duolingo to learn french for over a year, but I still can't speak it fluently. On other hand, My roommate learned it in about 8 months and got selected in his job because he could speak french. So I guess there is, at some level, It's effectiveness also depends on the absorbing power of it's user. I think I should give it another go.

[@noir371]

That sounds more like a rarity than a common occurrence. 8 months is extremely fast to become fluent

[@noir371]

Duolingo is hit or miss. I’ve been using it for Japanese and it’s a decent starting point for phrases and such, but it completely fails at teaching anything about grammar.

I used this app just for fun last year I can tell from the emails I've been getting that they're trying to combat their chur rate

I bought the year subscription because I wanted to learn Italian, long story short, it doesn't work in a practical level. Can anyone recommend a good language app?

[@Embargoman]

I use Duolingo for Japanese.

[@ronque23]

It doesn’t work. Only gives you a false sense of achievement until you need to use it in an actually conversation. The lessons are not how everyday users even speak. All that work for nothing. I feel it’s a big fat waste of time.

[@madame4883]

I wonder what language you were learning from there in order to have such a comment!

[@gokselbilici605]

In Turkey they definitely deserve it :D

I used to think people are not that dumb but in reality many are, keep using Duolingo for learning nothing practical and wasting your money/time
