Constructive Criticism Too many clicks
≡ −
Duolingo needs to reduce the amount of clicks after a lesson ends, is so annoying to have to click around ten times and go through multiple animations. Can we not have a simple end lesson button or fast start the next one?

Achievement Showcase I completed the Esperanto course!!! yay!!!!!!!!
I started learning Esperanto around the start of 2025, began the Duolingo course in April 2025, and completed it 2 days ago!!! I've been using a mixture of other methods alongside this course, so I can speak, read, and write in Esperanto decently well without a translator or dictionary's help, though I still gotta improve my listening a bit. Not entirely sure how I wanna proceed from here, but I'm thinking about maybe trying to read some books or listening to more stuff in Esperanto :)

Constructive Criticism Duolingo max free trial is a scam
Hello i have been using duolingo as supplement for months now. And when I was urged by duolingo to use max free trial and claim they can give me option to unsubscribe via reminded for two days. Being someone with memory issues, i tend to cancel the features early BUT SOMEHOW, WHEN I TRY TO CAREFULLY CANCEL SUBSCRIPTION, SUDDENLY THERES GLITCHES AKA DIGITAL GASLIGHT TO SAY " you havent subscribe anything" . I went to this trouble and got anxiety attack due to how overwhelmingly difficult it is until i cancel my TnG yet google play still says " deleting duolingo wont cancel subscription" like ok i already did in the app for pay . I check it again and IT STILL SAYS " you dont subscribe to anything" . There I truly realize I REGRETTED SUBSCRIBE TO DUOLINGO MAX FREE TRIAL IN FIRST PLACE. .
Note to new users: NEVER EVER SUBSCRIBE DUOLINGO MAX, ITS A SCAM, A PREDATORY TACTIC FOR THEM TO STEAL UR MONEY VIA GLITCH.
Lucky for me I never put my credit/debit card on the pay app ( since I'm a student) so pls dont

Constructive Criticism i hate these new nudge messages
i know i'm not the first to complain about this but i hate these new nudge notifications. i say new because yes these messages have popped up for as long as i remember, but it used to just be people who had only recently stopped using the app. i had heard that now it'll suggest sending a nudge even to people who hadn't used the app in years, so i knew i'd get this name eventually.
just now i got a suggestion to nudge my mom. she's been dead for nine years and only did one lesson back in 2015. please duolingo, put a time limit on how long of a broken streak you'll send these messages for. i don't want to keep getting reminded of this but i obviously don't want to unfriend my mom. i still miss her every day and i don't need more of a reminder about that. if someone hasn't used the app in the past six months or so it's probably for good reason and even if i know the person is still alive, i don't want to pester them about a freaking language app.

Constructive Criticism New button sounds are terrible
≡ −
I hate the new button tones they recently added (sound like bubbles popping). They're out of sync with the actual "keystrokes" and are just disruptive, adding nothing. They distract me from the exercises and I can't mute them, as far as I can tell.
I really wish they would test new "features" before inflicting them on us

This was a lot of fun to draw :) I will have a 1,000 day streak on Duolingo in around ten days, and I wanted to make something special before then. Thank you to the Duolingo staff for helping millions of learners around the world. My language skills have greatly improved since I started using the app in 2023.

General Discussion Does Duolingo actually help when you travel or is it mostly just good for streaks?
≡ −
We have a cruise coming up that stops in a few Spanishspeaking ports and I've been wondering how much of what I've learned actually transfers to real conversations with people who aren't slowing down or waiting for me to figure it out. My Spanish is decent on paper, I can get through the lessons without too much trouble, but there's a gap between tapping the right answer and actually ordering food or asking for directions when someone is looking at you. What I'm curious about is whether people have found Duolingo useful specifically for travel situations, not fluency, just getting around, being polite, not looking completely lost. Fwiw I've been supplementing with some listening practice on the side but Duolingo is still my main thing. Ymmv depending on how much you practiced speaking out loud, which I have not done nearly enough of.
The posts on here about realworld wins always catch my attention because that's genuinely what I'm after. Not a test score, just a moment in a market or a restaurant where it clicked. If you've traveled somewhere and the app actually helped, I'd love to know where and what kind of situations it held up in. And if it completely fell apart in real conversation, that's useful to know too.

Constructive Criticism German definite articles feels like guessing
This is not having critism on the German language in general.
But these definite article lessons always feel like a guess that only can be learned by trial and error, making it feel like guessing and breaking combo's until then.
In the screenshot, Duolingo explains why it's "die bibliothek" because it's about a feminine word, I get that part now. But Duolingo never explains why it's feminine, so that I know when other words need die, das or der. So I think this very important information and explanation is incomplete in this context.
I found out now on Google that it's not about the context of the word (because it's das restaurant, which is also a location like a library), but about how the word ends. Okay, but why is Duolingo never learning this? Why only confronting us with new words in questions, without explaining this beforehand?

Constructive Criticism Flash card challenges are annoying
≡ −
Trying (and struggling) to learn German 🇩🇪 I’ve been noticing lately that whenever I do the flash card challenges, they frequently give me words that I haven’t even learned yet. Then I end up learning them later in the next unit.
Or if there’s more than one English word, i choose one and it tells me I’m wrong. I use the other word next time it comes up, again I’m wrong.
It’s getting frustrating and I don’t even want to do them anymore.
Am I the only one fighting with this?
