Is it just me or does the Duolingo bird looks sad/old/tired? What happened to the previous icon?
They got you talking about Duolingo. That’s why they changed it.
Duolingo keeps doing mass layoffs, so the bird is overworked. You can help him out by switching to a language learning app that actually helps you learn a language instead of endlessly throwing flash cards at you without teaching you anything! Win win.
I’ve been working on my Spanish with practice from some of my coworkers and patients. So far Duolingo’s “flash cards” have actually been pretty helpful, but I grant that some of the actual "instruction"isn’t there. I went from really rudimentary Spanish to being able to conduct a patient evaluation in Spanish as long as it’s straight forward.
Everyone shits on Duo but I’ve found it to be a really helpful practice tool myself.
Anything is better than nothing. This is true. But that doesn’t mean you aren’t wasting your time on something that does the bare minimum.
But I like to see my streak go up🚀🚀🚀
It’s my fault, y’all. I’m sorry.
I recently started using Duolingo to learn Spanish, and it’s clinically proven I ruin everything I touch, so I think I’m killing the bird…
Oh, I thought it’s because I stopped opening it daily and broke my streaks lol
This is the old duolingo icon
Duo has lost all will to live now that his landscape of progress is a single, non-branching path.
It must feed on the blood of oppressed immigrants trying to learn English or it’s immortality will cease
They recently added some unlockable graphics for the widget. Nothing major.
Guess they changed the icon just for the hell of it while they were at it.
They change it all the time for funsies
I’m tired, boss. Tired of bein’ on the the app store, wantin’ to be lonely as an owl in the rain. I’m tired of always havin’ people annoying me, tellin’ me to give them new words. Mostly, I’m tired of people never memorizin’ the vocabulary. I mean, how many times can I give you “Cómo estás?” before you finally remember what it means, Cletus?
There’s too much misremembered - it’s like pieces of glass in my head, all the time, I’ve fed you the entire Spanish lexicon ten times, and you’ve learned three words. Can you understand?
They change their icon all the time for laughs along with making amusing videos that exploit the memes
Time is the real enemy.
It’s freaking tired of reminding everyone to practice, yet very few people do it regularly
He’s just old.
They went to the beach that makes you old.
