I just received my invitation.
Any fello dulingoers out there?

Shit seems fun as hell.

For you plebs it is a website where you learn languages like spanish and german for free. It's rather fun also.

It seems cool. Do you get invites to give to other people or do you just have to wait until they choose you?

I like it. My spanish has definitely improved since I started.

I had to wait. I'll see if I have invites to give away. It has like an MMO feel to it.

You get experience point, level up and choose in a skill tree what ways to go.

Its quite easy.

What languages does it offer?

How do I get an invite?

Opt not to use it.

THIS IT TOTALLY INTRUSIVE.

I checked for invitations. It seems like there are none at the moment. You just have to register and wait.

I DON'T WANT TO WAIT. I WANT TO DO THIS NOW.

Although I want to learn French more than Spanish and stuff. This is genius, though.

Hm I use livemocha for learning russian.
If you know it, would you say duolingo is better?

Here is a video of the founder. This is when I decided to join. They are working on adding more languages. Duolingo is in a beta stage.

reCaptcha helps digitizing books?
Holy fuck. I did not know that.

what a dick, but at least he gave me the ability to pepper old algebraic topology textbooks with the word "nigger"

Not yet. I have applied for the beta. Might as well have some fun while learning yet another foreign language. Also, very curious.

>> No.2506911

I also signed up. Man, I would love to translate the site all on its own. There need to be more languages added. I'm really excited about this project. I already speak 5 languages and can function in about 8 given that the other 3 have their relation to languages I already speak.
