Tobi Fondse, 50, who lives in the Netherlands, started a dedicated Twitter account called Duo Is Sad in an attempt to get the company's attention. Going back over old content only yields 5 XP. The primary language which I was well advanced in no longer receives any attention from me. Im looking for another platform. Then they messed with the old tree and I lost my hard work.

If its owners had improved the platform, I would have paid. I liked it better when they had labels like animals or weather even though they could be vague about the grammar lessons. I agree that there should have been a timed sunset on the old version if they were to do it, and to have an easier way to see where you compare from old to new. I havent used duo on my phone since the update and now that its been unceremoniously forced onto my iPad I hope I dont drop duo altogether. I agree that this is designed for children now.

When you initially learn a concept, youll want to revisit it fairly soon after, but then you can gradually expand the time between practice sessions. The new interface goes against most of what we know about successful adult education and was obviously driven by marketing reasons, sadly at the cost of the learners experience and I suspect the long term future of DuoLingo.
