I tried duolingo for the first time in like 6 years - pretty sure I was using the “old” design and not this latest. The gamification seems obscenely high. It feels like 50% of the experience is either watching animations or clicking things that say “ok” “next” or “no thanks.” Plus it’s all tests - no teaching! It took me a long time to realize that is a quite hidden tips section that actually teaches you some things prior to the tests, but those are clearly not part of the main flow.
- lostlogin 4y ago> I tried duolingo for the first time in like 6 years - pretty sure I was using the “old” design and not this latest. It would seem unlikely that an article would appear now about a 6 year old update, and the article mentions changes made on November 1.
- watwut 4y agoNot everyone has new path still. They are rolling it out slowly. Everyone who has enough updated app should get it eventually, but it is not there yet.
- ryantgtg 4y agoTo clarify, I tried it a couple months ago for the first time in 6 years. They’ve been talking about the rollout of this update for at least three months. So it was unclear to me if the latest version I used was indeed this new one.
- bin_bash 4y agoyou can (and should) disable those animations in the settings
- Markoff 4y agoyou can also disable sharing your progress with others (only on website, not in the app, very well hidden option) to disable those stressing leagues every week, some people like it to force them to keep up and not deep out of league, some people don't, I wonder if they removed this choice as well (I disabled sharing/leagues, so dunno)
