I have a 4 year Duolingo streak.

I don’t have any friends on the app. I ignore the leaderboards, have no idea what the gems and XP boosts are even for, and find clicking through chests to reveal their riches mildly annoying.

I’m sure a lot of users love this stuff (right?). I just wish there were a “lame mode” for people like me where the app quietly taught you the language without the gamification.

Also, while I'm complaining… is it really necessary to have me manually skip every video call lesson when I'm very clearly not subscribed to Super? 😭

Okay, rant over. Overall, I love Duolingo and it has helped me a lot.
