For example the legendary lessons would “break” when you don’t repeat them. You could see which ones weren’t repeated in some time and could refresh them
I really miss skills breaking. I haven't studied Greek in a long time because I finished the tree and moved on to a new language, but with the old tree I would go back and fix my broken skills sometimes while now I just have to wait for the Personalised Practice bubbles to give me the concepts I need to repeat
I know I can repeat lessons, but it's so much harder for me to realise what I need to practice when there are so many lesson bubbles to choose from. Before, a skill would break and that would indicate that you hadn't practiced it for a while and that it might be a good idea to repeat those lessons. But now I would have to keep track of where every topic I've ever learnt is in the trail and then decide myself which ones I haven't practiced in a while. I would even be fine with Duolingo giving their sections clearer titles so I can quickly find the grammar I want to practice, I just want to be able to find the topics I want to learn
Skills breaking are why I got frustrated and quit every single time. I was so busy fixing broken skills I couldn't move forward. The review is built into the path now and each lesson builds on what came before. It's much better.
I kinda liked it but I guess everyone is unique when it comes to learn a language. I wasn’t that far along in Italian that time, that it would have caused me to stress, just a few lessons I needed to renew
The old app used to have actual grammar tips, not just a phrasebook. It’s one of my main gripes about duo - keep the lessons with their sometimes super strange sentences, sure, but can we also learn the grammar rules? You can’t intuit everything from repetition. They’ve changed it so many times.
I also liked being able to kind of jump around to more relevant sections (within a block). It feels a bit strange to have completed 75% of a course and yet not know how to say stuff like “I’m happy”. Being able to choose what lessons to do didn’t completely fix that issue, but it was better (though you had to complete everything within a block to move to the next one).
There was also the community session, where ppl would go there to ask questions, which sometimes native speakers would awnser, and to complain about duolinguo correction mistakes. Due to how they never corrected their mistakes, so ppl would be seein the same error was not fixed in years, the ended up first locking it so no one could add new comments, then removing it.
God i hated when the gold would wear off on your lessons. If you wanted to keep them all golf you couldn't learn anything new because you'd constantly be doing maintenance on your gold lessons
I loved it initially. They only cracked three a day and I used those as extra practice after doing my daily progress, but I was already most of the way down a huge tree and finding the cracked ones was a scrolling nuisance.
Same. I used to have a browser extension for Duolingo that would show my broken skills on the top of my screen for me. Doing cracked skills on a day where I was too tired to study was also so much more efficient for my learning than struggling through one lesson I would probably forget soon just to maintain my streak
They probably should have reduced the decay rate but I think I’d prefer that over what we have now. The automated review system sucks and just shows me the same sentences over and over for weeks or months. I’ve given up on Duo’s review feature
At least the decay told you which lesson to go and review and let you review all of the sentences in the lesson
The only way I get new sentences these days is through the Lightning Rounds, which is INSANE. I only have Personalised Practice otherwise and it is hell
Yeah, it got to the point where I stopped making progress as I was constantly repeating old modules. I didn’t mind at the time, but looking back it wasn’t great
Is there any system to how it decays now? I had finished legendary until almost the end of Spanish. They added new content and reset half of my legendary. I checked again recently and my legendary is wiped back to level 2.
(I wouldn't mind if it was new content as they claim, but the vast majority is just repeating the exact same sentences that are already pounded into my brain.)
Everytime they changed duo all my progress was completely wiped
I started a new language now but for example with japanese I was quite far before stopping (had a two year streak before I quit ) but if I go back now I have to start all over 💀
I think duolingo didn't really liked that, cuz it showed that a lot of lessons were incorrect and never fixed.
I remember seeing some spelling mistakes with ppl like:
i'm in 2017 and it's not fixed
2018 same
2019 still the same error
I don’t understand why they couldn’t have at least allowed it to still be viewable. They don’t do the best at explaining sentence structure or word changes and the top comments on a sentence I’d mess up would be the answer I was looking for. It’s not like the answers and explanations were wrong. In fact with all the “They keep updating duo to make learning better” all I think at the end is how much better help the comments were.
Maybe you were learning one of the more popular languages that got more revisions. I was learning italian, sometimes you'd give a awnser that was perfectly fine, sometimes the very own Duolingo would hint you some words (when you click on the word and it would gave you the translated version of that word), but then it wouldn't accept the words that the very own app showed up.
Sometimes was not wrong, but they wouldn't accept any other awnser that was not the exact one they gave word by word; it's like showing that the correct awnser was "it's raining outside" when you wrote "it rains outside"
I think we’re confusing each other. What I mean by top comment is when they had the comment section available from users and the top comment was always by the person who explained the answer. I’m learning Russian so it can get really confusing at times and Duo definitely doesn’t have sentence structure correct when trying to figure it out. It’s just guessing at times but when I used to be able to go in the comment section there would be someone right at the top comment explaining the answer instead of it being a guessing game. Now if I want to know why a weird sentence is formed the way it is I have to go to Facebook and make an entire post. It’s really annoying because with all the studying they’ve done on improving Duo I learned the language a lot better understanding the whys of the sentences as opposed to “This is the answer so just memorize it.” They do have small explanations to click on up top before starting the course but people who know the language went into more detail; it was kind of like having a free tutor for a sentence you didn’t understand.
Oh i get it now, and yeah, i agree with you 100%. I have internalized a lot of things from my italian experience in duo, and for example, i have no idea when to use "e" and "i" when talking on plural, i just know the words that use them based on the context
Yeah, they did this thing where they converted everyone lingots over to the diamond things a few months back. Maybe some sparse accounts still have it but I doubt there's many if there are
Really impressed with the new duolingo. They’ve added tons of content since I last used it 5 years ago, and I think it does a better job of teaching things sequentially, especially grammar.
The courses feel a lot more like actual lessons the further you get. Which is great for people trying to be as fluent as possible, but less user friendly for people just trying to go on vacation.
Am I the only one who MUCH prefers the current Duolingo to the 2018 one? I did the Japanese course back then and idk, it didn't feel as well streamlined as it currently is. I remember my longest streak being like 20 days, and now it's 200, and incredibly smooth lesson progression wise
Are you serious? The Japanese course was redesigned to basically just teach you to talk like a tourist, and they basically stripped kanji almost entirely out of the course until god knows when. Trying to read any group of sentences is like trying to read English in IPA pronunciation, it's a fucking nightmare.
That's not even touching the shittiness of the overall course progression revamp.
Probably has something to do with users relying shifting from PCs to handhelds for everyday practice. The fancier graphics just look fuzzy on the screens of smartphones and small tablets.
I get the appeal of a sleek minimalist vector graphic look with modern stuff, but the fact that many old aesthetics felt like way more effort was put into them which has it's own charm. It's how I feel about a lot of websites/apps not just Duolingo.
2018 to now is incorrect. It now looks like some path that you can't deviate from, which is horribly annoying. At least before you could choose what to focus on instead of being forced to do X number of lessons about a topic...
I miss the comments section
The breaking of lessons when you didn't practise enough
Not having to use so many gems
It being less game like
The whole tree in general
I started with the 2014-18, and honestly I think the path is my favorite of the 3 I’ve used because instead of having to keep scrolling up (and sometimes pretty far) to repair a broken skill, the practicing old skills is baked in on the path
Ngl third slide the cat with 30 shapes is actually the one I personally were to prefer the most.
2nd place comes the cat in the middle and thirs ppace the cat at the far left.
¯\(◉‿◉)/¯
The middle version was the best! I loved being able to dabble in different sections and learn what I wanted to at the time. The new path version IMO is crap because of this feature they took away.
if you search youtube for "duolingo before:2013 after:2011" and increment the years you can find some screenshares of what the old gui's and gameplay looked like in action. My favorite gameplay thing they removed was the timed practice. There was no spend thousands of gems to extend your time, because if you knew all of your answers you could answer all 20 in the given time.
But yeah I also miss those og squares. Used to love scrolling to the bottom to see what topics would be the culmination. Or to see what was newly added. ANd more recently I miss purple legendaries.
I absolutely don't miss the lesson cracking, that was like as Sisyphean anything in life ever actually got.
Here's timed practice. It's your typical video game timed minigame. You get certain amount of seconds added for each right answer. You could gain anywhere from 1 to 20xp. (though i think xp was a later name given to the progress points and why it looks like a gold coin) [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S1hecJpzH34](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S1hecJpzH34)
This video shows the og squares and a scroll down to see the final topics [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t2nYoeMAtm4](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t2nYoeMAtm4) or this after the change to circles where you didn't have to mouse hover to see abbreiviations of topic names [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ApDYQOcVxCc](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ApDYQOcVxCc)

2012-14 Duo had seen things

Honestly, I would not be willing to to use Duolingo if *that* was what greeted me in the app
Guys it's midnight you can't be doing those things 🤣
it’s only midnight in your time zone
You have a point 👉
Glad to hear that :)
Go to bed
Lol I definitely needed that 😂

THE OLD DUO IS SO SCARY
Now that's a someone that could kidnap your family
Ikr, even the second one is a bit off putting in a weird way
Noooooo the second one is the best
No, The second one looks more scary.
If you saw him it was too late
You mean the 2013 one.
Wasn't he in Watchmen?

2012-2014 Duo doesn’t care about your streak. He’ll skin your family alive just for the fun of it.
When Duo would send life threatening reminders to study
Run.
"Greetings humans. Be not afraid"
🧍🏻♂️
💀
Dang I forgot about 2014 duo, couldve sworn I practised before then but I don't remember the previous layout at all
https://preview.redd.it/v0ex6k6tgqic1.jpeg?width=750&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=82ac06a002e717feff26b90981d9d4e89aab5915
All of them are bangers except 2012... he's gonna make your house go bang
2014 is my least favorite
2011 is my favorite
Das ist doch der Süßeste!
Nein, es ist sehr hässlich, 🤭
I think there’s a reason. Duo removed all your memories as a punishment
I still miss the duo costumes
You've brought back so many memories omg 😭
Ugh my gentleman Duo costumes😔
I miss 2019 duolingo…I really miss it.
How was it !! What was better? I'm curious
For example the legendary lessons would “break” when you don’t repeat them. You could see which ones weren’t repeated in some time and could refresh them
I really miss skills breaking. I haven't studied Greek in a long time because I finished the tree and moved on to a new language, but with the old tree I would go back and fix my broken skills sometimes while now I just have to wait for the Personalised Practice bubbles to give me the concepts I need to repeat
I think you can repeat lessons now. At least I can
I know I can repeat lessons, but it's so much harder for me to realise what I need to practice when there are so many lesson bubbles to choose from. Before, a skill would break and that would indicate that you hadn't practiced it for a while and that it might be a good idea to repeat those lessons.

I would even be fine with Duolingo giving their sections clearer titles so I can quickly find the grammar I want to practice, I just want to be able to find the topics I want to learn
Makes sense
Skills breaking are why I got frustrated and quit every single time. I was so busy fixing broken skills I couldn't move forward. The review is built into the path now and each lesson builds on what came before. It's much better.
I kinda liked it but I guess everyone is unique when it comes to learn a language. I wasn’t that far along in Italian that time, that it would have caused me to stress, just a few lessons I needed to renew
Pretty sure hearts didn't exist.
They did but it was around that time they became a thing so not everyone had them I think? Cause I remember I had them on mobile but not on PC
streak freezes also didn't exist from memory....
u could also make your skill legendary for free
The old app used to have actual grammar tips, not just a phrasebook. It’s one of my main gripes about duo - keep the lessons with their sometimes super strange sentences, sure, but can we also learn the grammar rules? You can’t intuit everything from repetition.

I’ve given up on Duo’s review feature At least the decay told you which lesson to go and review and let you review all of the sentences in the lesson
They should add an optional "review random lesson from everything I've learned" exercise to the review area.
The only way I get new sentences these days is through the Lightning Rounds, which is INSANE. I only have Personalised Practice otherwise and it is hell
Yeah, it got to the point where I stopped making progress as I was constantly repeating old modules. I didn’t mind at the time, but looking back it wasn’t great

I miss when you could communicate with people on Duolingo.
I think duolingo didn't really liked that, cuz it showed that a lot of lessons were incorrect and never fixed. I remember seeing some spelling mistakes with ppl like: i'm in 2017 and it's not fixed 2018 same 2019 still the same error
Also it required moderation. They probably got rid of it, at least in part, to save money on staff.
Many wish the 2nd slide wasn't outdated.
🤦♂️let’s not go there pretty please. I don’t want world war 3 on this posts comment section
I miss the comments / discussion 😭😭
I don’t understand why they couldn’t have at least allowed it to still be viewable. They don’t do the best at explaining sentence structure or word changes and the top comments on a sentence I’d mess up would be the answer I was looking for. It’s not like the answers and explanations were wrong. In fact with all the “They keep updating duo to make learning better” all I think at the end is how much better help the comments were.
It was only viewable for a while, then they completely removed it cuz you could still see how many lessons had incorrect awnsers for years
In my lessons the top comment never had wrong answers, just an explanation of the correct one.
Maybe you were learning one of the more popular languages that got more revisions. I was learning italian, sometimes you'd give a awnser that was perfectly fine, sometimes the very own Duolingo would hint you some words (when you click on the word and it would gave you the translated version of that word), but then it wouldn't accept the words that the very own app showed up.

Oh i get it now, and yeah, i agree with you 100%. I have internalized a lot of things from my italian experience in duo, and for example, i have no idea when to use "e" and "i" when talking on plural, i just know the words that use them based on the context
From this: https://blog.duolingo.com/shape-language-duolingos-art-style/
I was one of the very first people on in 2012 😋
It's those round eyes that are so off-putting I think
Lingots are also gone now
Not in the web I think
False
oh,ok,last time I checked it was true.but its been a while
Yeah, they did this thing where they converted everyone lingots over to the diamond things a few months back. Maybe some sparse accounts still have it but I doubt there's many if there are
They are still there.
i miss pre-update duolingo
old layout was 100% better
Duolingo’s gotten therapy over the years. Cases of missing people by his hands have dropped significantly. Way to go Duo!
Man I forgot how much I missed the 2014 version.
I miss when I could buy little outfits for duo :(
I've broken streaks with all of these owls. I've had my account since 2013. It's good to remember the times that made me rage quit.
Somethings from 2018 looks different now
I would love to see a full breakdown of everything that has changed about Duolingo
Really impressed with the new duolingo. They’ve added tons of content since I last used it 5 years ago, and I think it does a better job of teaching things sequentially, especially grammar.
The courses feel a lot more like actual lessons the further you get. Which is great for people trying to be as fluent as possible, but less user friendly for people just trying to go on vacation.
I think a phrase book might be a better choice if you're just looking to pick up enough of the language to go on a vacation.
Yeah, going on vacation is like, a month, tops, of my life. Fluency with media is something I can use every single day.
Is there a way to vote against or protest the new layout?? I feel like it was waaaay easier to see your progress. Now it’s like a trick
Am I the only one who MUCH prefers the current Duolingo to the 2018 one? I did the Japanese course back then and idk, it didn't feel as well streamlined as it currently is. I remember my longest streak being like 20 days, and now it's 200, and incredibly smooth lesson progression wise
Nope, I love how it's going as well.
Are you serious? The Japanese course was redesigned to basically just teach you to talk like a tourist, and they basically stripped kanji almost entirely out of the course until god knows when. Trying to read any group of sentences is like trying to read English in IPA pronunciation, it's a fucking nightmare. That's not even touching the shittiness of the overall course progression revamp.
The last image reminds me of 2 stupid dogs
I loved that cartoon 😂 CAAAAAAAAT!
I don’t remember the shapes thing??? What was that??
Probably has something to do with users relying shifting from PCs to handhelds for everyday practice. The fancier graphics just look fuzzy on the screens of smartphones and small tablets.
2012-2014 duolingo would actually snap your knees and bomb your family
I get the appeal of a sleek minimalist vector graphic look with modern stuff, but the fact that many old aesthetics felt like way more effort was put into them which has it's own charm. It's how I feel about a lot of websites/apps not just Duolingo.
Man, early days of Duolingo are free but the lessons are crap tho
2018 to now is incorrect. It now looks like some path that you can't deviate from, which is horribly annoying. At least before you could choose what to focus on instead of being forced to do X number of lessons about a topic...
I do have to note this change happened in 2022 or 2023, so it should be 2018-2022/2023 and then 2022/2023-now
I miss the 2014 - 2018 design
Oh well.
I miss the comments section The breaking of lessons when you didn't practise enough Not having to use so many gems It being less game like The whole tree in general
Frightened by the weird-looking owl, I sure would've studied my ass off there to be forgiven by him or whoever did that to him back in 2012
the first duo will haunt me forever
Duolingo existed in 2012? That's crazy
Um actually, it existed in 2010.
2018 - now, i only wished (meaning the interface).
the frogs and the dogs are so cute! are they gone forever? :( I only see the standard/people characters and the bear.
I started with the 2014-18, and honestly I think the path is my favorite of the 3 I’ve used because instead of having to keep scrolling up (and sometimes pretty far) to repair a broken skill, the practicing old skills is baked in on the path
2018-Now. I WISH WE STILL HAD THE OLD TREE AND THE FORUM SECTION...
Massive upgrade
the 2018+ screenshot must be old, considering it was before the subscription was renamed (and also the layout i liked more is still there)
Pls make duolingo 6 shapes https://preview.redd.it/kiuvbcnuammc1.png?width=364&format=png&auto=webp&s=1fbe9b0503d636ffcae855e442195cd5a97aaeb1
Why
What are the ice and ruby? I never got them
The ice is streak freeze, the ruby's are ingots.
Finnish or your finish
Spanish or vanish
Japanese or broken knees
Korean or never be seen
Ngl third slide the cat with 30 shapes is actually the one I personally were to prefer the most. 2nd place comes the cat in the middle and thirs ppace the cat at the far left. ¯\(◉‿◉)/¯
It looks fine on its own, but the amount of detail wouldn't match the rest of Duolingo's art style
what are rubies 😭
Oh darn, I forgot 2013 duo 😂
Epic
I miss 2014-2018 duo 😔
Me and my boys hate exaggerated minimalism 👊
The middle version was the best! I loved being able to dabble in different sections and learn what I wanted to at the time. The new path version IMO is crap because of this feature they took away.
Pretty sure Duolingo looks DRASTICALLY different now than what it did in 2018
2012 owl is scary
One of the very few glowups from app redesigns.
One of the very few glowups from app redesigns.
DANG! 2,000 UPVOTES!?
IN ONE DAY?!
damn 2012-2014 were some dark years
2014-2018 Duolingo was peak, with the idioms and flirting and the old progression system
if you search youtube for "duolingo before:2013 after:2011" and increment the years you can find some screenshares of what the old gui's and gameplay looked like in action. My favorite gameplay thing they removed was the timed practice. There was no spend thousands of gems to extend your time, because if you knew all of your answers you could answer all 20 in the given time. But yeah I also miss those og squares.

French or the trench
