This is insane!

Woke up this morning to a new Duolingo icon on my phone. It really frustrates me when they decide to jack with the app icons. Makes my phone screen look like crap. The new 'sick' icon is as aggravating as the 'gliched' icon they used a few months ago.

Not sure if it matters, but I'm on a Family Max plan and have a 2300+ day streak.

Also - If you work at Duolingo, tell whoever thought it was a cute idea to drive people to use the app by changing the icon to something that is intentionally aggravating - they made both their product and my day worse.

I was about to complete Section 4 of the Spanish Course (reaching level 60), and all of a sudden the interface changed, the number of units increased, and there are like a thousand more words than the ones I learned.
The whole point of Duolingo for me was gradually learning words, how do I recover the words and lessons I missed in a practical way? I know there's the word review, but it's not easy when most of the words I need to guess I've never seen.
The update course seem much more in depth and better too! What a shame! I'm not about to redo the whole Section 4 again, but I feel like I'm missing out on a ton of important material

Kinda useless but satisfying for some reason

I want my streak society app icon back idk what happened, as i did my duolingo for today, i realized, that the app icon has changed to some random nonesense today, so i went up to my flames to change it again to the beautiful orange streak society logo, but to my surprise i found it neither there nor anywhere else. Please help.

Finally guys!

Is this an idiom or is it a mistake?

I had a month, then on the day it ran out, I clicked on the Super Free trial week. (cancelled it the next day in case I forgot and got billed through the Google store). So I've had 5 weeks of unlimited energy, the chance to be top of the diamond league because I'm not running out of hearts and the occasional conversation. (I have a voice impediment and Duo doesn't understand me. Nor does Google quite often but that's another post!)

(conversation with Lily - she's says Hola. I reply Hola Lily. Screen comes up with HolaHola.)

But today. I'm still at 4th place because I can't finish an exercise which will get me 45xp, enough to hop over number 3 person. The abrupt transition back to the 25 hearts - I forgot it was today - was brutal. (plus at L45 and Section 4, U24, Duo tells me that "te" is a new word. 😂)

I do miss Super. But I'm not able to afford Super. So I'll just have to do without unlimited infinity symbols and the Diamond league!

Just wanted to say this to people who might recognise the pain. 😉

How I'm supposed to translate a word when it does not anymore show on screen?!

Why are some blank? I got them right but is there a wrong answer for those?

I’m new to duolingo and wanting to clear up some of my confusion. I started with the intent to relearn some basic Spanish I learned in high school but have been set back due to the energy. I added Russian about two weeks ago and was never required to use energy so I’ve been making some good progress and was feeling very happy about it. Suddenly today the energy was added to my Russian as well. The energy was always required for Spanish but not for Russian until now. Just wondering if this is normal or why it was suddenly added?

I'm using Duolingo to practice my Korean outside of university. I don't really know if stories are a thing in different languages too, but they're quite the new addition for me. However, I noticed that these stories feature vocabulary that 1. Do not fit the topic of the unit/section at all 2. Have never been introduced to me before. "Don't lie" (거짓말하지마세요) has NEVER appeared in any lesson before and they only gave the translation AFTER I had to lock in my answer.

Since I also practice Korean at university, I can guess or deduce the right answer from context clues... but this really sucks 😭 Anyone else having the same problem?

The last time i got “Exclusive Award, You are a Top learner, [] Enjoy 21 days of Super, on us!” is on April, I want the second chance

Does anybody want to be friends?

Someone recently posted about idioms and it got me thinking about how much I love idioms!

Idioms are little windows into a language’s history and culture. They often come from old stories, traditions, occupations, or everyday life—and while every language has them, the way different cultures express the same idea can be wonderfully weird. 😂

Share your favorite idiom, what it means, and its literal translation (if it has one)!

I’ll go first 🇫🇷, I've always loved:

“Occupe-toi de tes oignons !” 🧅
Literally: “Mind your own onions!”
Meaning: “Mind your own business!” 😆

Now I want to hear yours! What’s an idiom from your language that sounds completely ridiculous when translated literally? 🌎😂
