Pen Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 If you are using Duolingo, has the site been working well for you? I am not sure if it is a problem from our end or if maybe there is too much traffic or something and it is overloaded or something else, but it is not working for us, not even from library with a high speed connection.

JessReplanted Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 We had one occasion a few weeks ago when it wasn't working, but that was it. We use it every day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kiana Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 It's working fine for me today, but there have been instances in the past where it's gone out for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RootAnn Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 DD isn't having any trouble today/yesterday, except it seems to be running a little slower than usual. Could just be our connection... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matryoshka Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Dd uses it usually M-F, so she hasn't been on in a couple of days, but I don't know of any issues before then... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pen Posted September 4, 2014 Author Share Posted September 4, 2014 Thanks for replies. It was simply not loading at all. But now we have managed, sort of, today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pen Posted September 4, 2014 Author Share Posted September 4, 2014 The only problem I have is that French is much more strictly in correcting exercises then German... What exactly have you noticed? We've not done much French, but the German, Spanish and Italian, all from English seem to me to be correcting with similar strictness. From what I've seen, all the languages correct more strictly as one gets higher in level. For example, early on, German seems to allow nouns not to be capitalized and just gives a reminder, but later it marks them wrong if not capitalized. As people use the program, if they get corrected for something they believe should have been accepted they can bring it to the attention of the Duolingo staff. If the Duolingo staff agrees that the answer should have been marked correct, then it changes so that others with that answer will be marked correct from then on. Most frustrating for me is typing errors that are a real other word and thus get marked wrong instead of being marked as a typo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RootAnn Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 My dd#1 has played around a little bit with French but isn't to the level she is with Spanish. I haven't noticed any stricter grading on Spanish than French - but she's seriously at a very low level of French. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RootAnn Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 DD 'bought' the one-day Streak Freeze just for those type things (swinging to a new day when she didn't think it was a new day yet).... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mumto2 Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 I'm mad I don't know what time of day Duolingo counts as a new day. I lost my streak even though I was logging in religiously. :'( lol Even though I live in GMT Duolingo accepts the EST that my computer's clock is set for. My dc's clocks are set GMT and their duolingo operates on GMT. No technical problems here. Do you have the app if you are on an android, works much better.

Pen Posted September 5, 2014 Author Share Posted September 5, 2014 Yeah! Streak Freeze was thoroughly messed up! My ds had had 65 days streak and I had had over 100 days streak some time ago--even when we could get the thing to load--and then each of us at some point lost our streaks even thought we knew when and how to keep it going. Anyway everything had seemed to be working perfectly with the streaks and buying freezes for breaks--and then came a time when it didn't. I decided that even though the streak had been an incentive to keep going, that the frustration was too much, and so told ds to just do Duolingo to try to learn the languages, but not to bother with the freezes and all that.

Arcadia Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 We didn't bother with the streak. Maybe that's why we didn't notice it wasn't working well. Usually we use Duolinguo around 9am-10am daily. There are times when it was slower but we were using Starbucks Wi-Fi so I assumed it was due to it being public Wi-Fi rather than Duolinguo being buggy.

RootAnn Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Did you know the lingot store is different depending on where you access it? Really? Interesting. We only access on one PC as we have no hand-held i-devices or other do-dads (our technical term for smart phones or tablets). Makes things simple for us ... until the computer hard drive crashes. :glare: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
