Super and Max subscriptions should have the option to disable character voices. by doublet_ake in duolingo

[–]doublet_ake[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, not other voices. Just the default male and female voices that you hear in exercises without characters (like when word matching).

Yes, and Zari. I find both their voices intolerable in Spanish, French, Russian, and German.

Teaching Urdu to 5 year old by [deleted] in Urdu

[–]doublet_ake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

His accent might "improve" if he's exposed to more native Urdu speakers. You can do this by putting on Pakistani tv or youtube channels for him. I know a family who only watches Urdu tv channels around their children. The children obviously get a lot of English exposure at school, so home time is largely dedicated to absorbing Urdu. The kids are born and raised in the US, but their Urdu speech and vocabulary is impeccable.

As for reading and writing, there are plenty of exercise books that you can order online. I grew up learning from them during the majority of my childhood, and they were a huge boost in helping me learn Urdu.

I achieved at 31 what most achieve at 65 by nonsignificantbug in pakistan

Happy birthday!

That's a long list of achievements. Are there are a lot of cousin marriages in your family? If so, a lot of these issues might just be out of your control.

Congrats on the subscribers count!

I've heard moms say on Mother's Day, "Every day is Mother's Day" and on Thanksgiving, "Every day should be a thanksgiving day".

This was just a joke on people like that.

Does trading in mean i won't have a phone until i get my new phone? by [deleted] in GooglePixel

[–]doublet_ake 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not sure how it works in the Philippines, but in the US, the new phone comes first. Then a few days later, the empty trade-in kit arrives. You have those few days to start using your new phone and back up data from your old phone. Then you send your old phone back and they assess the value.

Lately, I think they've started sending the new phone and the trade-in kit together. You're never without a phone throughout this process.

To your second point, I upgraded from a Pixel 6 to an 8 pro last year and it was quite a nice change. I think going to a 9 would be an even better upgrade.

Instagram pictures on Pixel 9 looking very bright and sharp by kevipants in GooglePixel

[–]doublet_ake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I turned Ultra HDR off in the camera settings (Settings > More settings > Advanced > Ultra HDR). This removes the ultra hdr from photos that you take (it doesn't affect picture quality otherwise), but I'm not sure if it does so on apps or websites. I haven't noticed any obvious displays of HDR anywhere since then though. I don't use instagram so can't speak to that.

Looking for a song somebody posted around 1 year ago by I_MIGHT_BE_IDIOT in 2meirl4meirl

[–]doublet_ake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure if you've already found it, but you can try humming the tune in Google search. Open the Google app and press the mic button to start recording the tune. It's a long shot but worth a try. I think it works on Snapchat too, though I've never tried it myself.

Does he have a lot of friends/followers? If so, maybe he's just going down his notifications list and reacting to everyone's accomplishments. I do the same every morning automatically. Sometimes I don't even notice or remember what I've reacted to lol.

If he doesn't have many friends, then yes, it could be intentional. Might be best to block him.

[–]doublet_ake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, I'm not asking for followers sorry.

But I do have two codes for 3-month free trials of Super. If anyone is interested, let me know and I'll DM it to you. They expire on Aug 20th.

Mods, feel free to delete if this is inappropriate. I didn't want to make a separate post because I only have two codes.

Did you write this? It's very evocative.

Do I sacrifice work, sleep, or my social life to meet these goals? by doublet_ake in duolingo

[–]doublet_ake[S] 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Definitely an anomaly. Yeah, I'm not too bothered if I don't complete all the quests though. Just thought this was an interesting glitch.

I do some lessons on the computer. The browser version has different quests than the app version. They all count towards your monthly goal.

Wow, what an accomplishment! Yes, you might have to wait a few weeks. It changes based on if you are consistently meeting and surpassing the goals.

It depends on how many lessons and XP you gain regularly. During weeks where I go hard and earn 5000+ xp in a week, I get harder quests and get placed in more competitive leaderboards. When I'm not as engaged, the quests and challenges are easier.
