I've just received an email from Duolingo, that I've been using it to study languages for 10 years. Imagine that, I have created an account with them in 2014 and have been using it since (well, with a gap of about 5 years).
I became a Duolingo Free user in 2015. Actually back then there wasn't even a paid option, it was truly free. Back then I started learning German, and even if I didn't advance too much, I could say that it helped me learn some basics. Don't ask me why though, but after a few months I stopped playing with it and never picked it up again until 2023. Boy, did it change a lot in the past 7 years. I wish I'd say it was a good change, but unfortunately I consider Duolingo Free sucks (the 2023 version that is) in comparison with the app I toyed around with in 2016.

From the first year in school (7 years old) we all heard stories about the math teacher, the most feared one in the entire school. To put it into perspective, kids would rather be taught by a hybrid between Lord Voldemort and Sauron rather than take his class. Everyone would feel […]
“What we wanted was flying cars, what we got was 140 characters”. It is a quote by Peter Thiel (founder of PayPal) and one of my favorite ones. I like it because it sums up very well the contrast between our past expectations regarding the future and the reality of present. […]
I recently returned from a 2-week vacation in Turkey and prior to that (about one month before leaving) I thought to myself why not try to learn a bit the language. So, with the help of an audio book (the learn-in-your-car type) I followed almost 20 one-hour lessons to learn Turkish. […]
As a child I, as many others around the world, played a lot with paper planes, paper boats and paper hats. They were very easy to create and fun to play with when there wasn’t much else you could do (no widely-spread Internet back then or other multimedia devices). Without knowing […]
