Duolingo

Yesterday I almost lost it. I missed my lesson again and received my second warning. The situation was very typical: I fell asleep, and when I woke up, it was already too late. I opened my phone and realized that the day had already ended. The most frustrating part is that I only needed three minutes. Three minutes would have been enough to complete a quick lesson and protect my streak.

Now I only have two streak freezes left. If I miss one more day, I could lose everything — a streak of about 1,939 days. I started it in 2020, and it represents years of small daily efforts. Losing it would feel like losing a small piece of my past discipline.

Yesterday I forgot to mention my small Duolingo failure. It may not seem important, but for me it was. Since the beginning of the year, I had kept a perfect streak and really wanted to maintain it for the whole year. Unfortunately, I fell asleep again and forgot to complete my daily lesson. I woke up around 2 a.m. and realized what had happened, but it was already too late. I even tried to trick the app by changing the time on my phone and completing the lesson retroactively. It was a creative attempt, but Duolingo was smarter than me. Now I have one frozen day on my calendar — a small imperfection in what used to be a perfect record.

In this post, I try to describe my experience with the Duolingo app, how many times I use Duolingo, what I get from it, and share my opinion. I hope my post is understandable and that someone is reading this post. Thank you.
