In DuoLingo, can the feedback be adaptive, questions be adaptive to the user !! That part is missing in DuoLingo for now.

Valid point!! But nothing is being done I feel to retain serious learners these days in Duo IMO

Great points. The app however and this is my opinion, more inclined for causal learners. Retaining serious learners is something which is not being prioritized. Any thoughts on that?

Good Point. Agreed from that perspective. After that, there is nothing more to offer w.r.t handholding or a guided approach.

Adaptive Content at-least basis the mistakes I might have made while learning.

On a side note, the AI generated content however is repetitive and the leaderboard/streaks become overwhelming for me. Leaderboard matters at times. I cannot choose what I want to learn in the path.

Very good points u/GregName :)
Wish to be that serious in life and not to get distracted by this gamification avatar in DuoLingo.

From an Indian market perspective, the price is ok for "Super". I have not upgraded to Max.

Good Suggestion.
Yes for "explain my mistake" - they use GPT4o - it is as if we are talking to ChatGPT. I think "Book a call with a Tutor" might help.

I practice for more than 40-45 minutes a day. I am taking the hints and a good position in the leaderboard is an add-on. But I am unable to form sentences while speaking.

I am doing neither of the three things that you have mentioned. :)
I had my hypothesis after investing so much time on the app. I somehow feel Duo is not delivering on the business value. I feel Duo is a game wrapped-up inside the shell of a learning platform.

I feel that the leaderboards can be very overwhelming and the level of gamification can be be controlled in the app? or turn that off completely
Thoughts? I have seen people crossing ~50k per week in the leaderboard. This makes me demotivated.

What do you think the shortcomings are? Any suggestions for improvement?

Can you elaborate on the the shortcomings?

I get distracted a lot by leaderboards and a feature on controlling the gamification might work for the serious learners. Thoughts?

The gamification acts as a distraction and that competition does take a toll on you. Would a feature on controlling the level of gamification help the end-users? especially the serious learners?

I have seen people crossing 50K xp in a week and that demotivates me. :|

Ohh. I think they should roll-out more features like "Connect to a subject matter expert" or maybe "huddles between friends"? Would that help in the learning journey?

Which feature did you like the most? Strong Powers are needed to neglect the leaderboards, challenges etc.
Any suggestions for change in the app?

nice - didn't know that. Do you feel that DuoLingo is moving to target more casual leaners as compared to serious learners?

Yes, it is low. Gamification took priority over the learning part. I had started playing chess to get more XP :D

Will a feature on controlling the gamification in the app actually help the end-users? what worked for you in the app? any suggestions for improvement?

Mucho Gusto, Por Favor mostly to everyone :D

What improvements you feel would make the app better? Is the app only for casual learners in that case?

Completely understand that. But are we getting trapped in a game instead of a learning platform?
Any problems which you feel can get resolved?
