This is an advertisement Their CEO has gone on Reddit a few times and came off extremely, probably insultingly poorly. I dropped the app like hot lead after they changed formatting late last year and his behaviour was the last nail in that coffin. It's gotten progressively worse and more gamified which doesn't equate to learning. There are some FOSS alternatives beginning to plant seeds. I cannot wait to see what they bring.

  Check the r/Duolingo Reddit. He had an ama there.

Every time they changed the UI it made it worse for free users and worse for learning. The latest iteration which made it like candy crush almost made me quit. The only thing keeping me is the streak, which isn't a positive reason.
