Loved DuoLingo
The other really favorite is something you've written about and talked about, which is uh Duolingo, which I think is both very impressive from a product point of view, the the execution and and uh what they've done. It is also insanely used in my family. We have a family account, and everyone is, you know, using it and competing every day. So, I'm both impressed by the product and also use the product quite a lot.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter, especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked article and a belief on korrents.com are left in their original language.
