Simply love it and definitely recommend it to all my students and everyone who want to learn a language and spend 0 money on learning. But, if you want to have more features and cool things you can still pay a little amount and have super duolingo and enjoy every penny you spend. Cheers! Thank you guys! The only thing that I would like to have back is the chance to change my avatar picture. After setting the avatar-emoji, I cannot change it in any way((( unfortunately, I didn’t read the pop-up message that most probably warned me about this, but yeah, would appreciate if you could add it back.

I’m learning Mandarin from A1. The most difficult for me in Mandarin is the hieroglyphs. They are so much different from everything I know, that I need it so badly that anything logical on them is presented to me at least sometimes. The parts of different hieroglyphs may be similar or even the same. Perhaps sometimes it’s useful to know the meaning of their parts. Another issue is that I now probably can recognize some hieroglyphs, but for sure I’m not able to write them down. I think it would be useful to show how exactly they are written. Or drawn)) Writing also would dramatically improve remembering them. One more thing is when a word consists of 2 or 3 “letters”. For instance, “hello” is “ni hao”, that is “you good”. Well, on the one hand it’s sometimes useful to understand how exactly words or concepts are formed in the language, and on the other hand, you deal with simple words twice - 1) when you learn them as they are (ni - you, hao - good), 2) when you get to know a word or a concept that consists of more simple words. Also when you learn a language, it’s a good technique to look at origins of the word, so that you remember it easier and more accurately in terms of using. So, I hope Duolingo will take all that into account. And maybe it would be useful to add short videos with people, not only Duolingo characters, saying some words and phrases.

Hello Duolingo! I appreciate your work and app. It helped me to learn English language. I didn’t know English when I was 2nd grade. Then after year my brother recommended Duolingo. I learned with fun because it is made like a game. In conclusion I can say thanks for you. However I think it needs some cool updates. There are only 4 or 5 things to buy at market. So please add new things to buy like xp boost for 10 minutes or for a whole day! If it isn’t right to you, you can add extra league shield. I think you will discover other things yourself. Thank you
