Dear Duo , I love this app! It is seriously so fun! This app gives you lots of enthusiasm to learn new languages which honestly it sometimes really hard. But Duolingo makes it less hard and more fun! I rely love the learning method to make learning amazing and instead instead of focus full it pushes you in learning in a fun way that is much more exciting like strikes or new costumes or your level in the trophy's! In addition of all these positive things to this app IT HAS SO SO MENY variety’s of languages row the world, even Hawaiian. This app is truly amazing, but there’s a minor problem which am really disappointed in. It is the faced that you don’t tech Persian but you tech like almost every Stengel language in the world, even like I mentioned before Hawaiian! Duo can you please put Persian on the list of languages! Can you just please consider how many Iranians in the world there is compared to like Hawaiian? Please let the world have a little more variety and more options of languages, please? That is why I gave you a three in my rating. Honestly, I wanna give you a 3 1/2 but there is none so that’s why I give you a three but if you do these things, I’ll probably be 100% of five thank you for your understanding since I myself am Iran. Can you please give me an another like paragraph back to let me know if you add that in your new update thank you for your understanding.

Hey duo hope you’re having a nice day but one question could you remove the batteries it’s so annoying? and I wanna buy super Duolingo but I can’t. It keeps telling me to buy it and I literally can’t because I go to Apple I’ll go to my settings to buy it and it says I need to make a payment method or a schedule but it doesn’t work so please remove it. I just want to learn. Also, the club with Brawl Stars is fire. but I’ll give it a five stars because I already learned French a lot. and chess.

Our mascot owl, Duo, is trading in his usual diet of mice for bugs this week. Yup, we’re squashing those pesky bugs to make the experience better for all of you. For more Duolingo news, contests and product releases, follow us on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram @duolingo.
