Another cool Duolingo language article: What do all languages have in common? https://t.co/LwlGSv4tm9

As someone who learned English as a foreign language, this is really interesting!
Also, does this mean that the English word knight is related to the German word Knecht, which has pretty much the opposite meaning? 🤔 https://t.co/c2EDei4e5o

In the last week I've started to receive inquiries from people running tree planting programs wanting my help. I am suggesting that they shut down their programs. Here I will explain why:

@duolingo out of curiosity, why did you change the Russian course from 5 to 4 units? I’m back in unit 2 even though I had already completed it and was in unit 3 - feels like a setback, even though my skills have been preserved, but they’ve suddenly been classed into unit 2

@lindsaywillmore fantastic Cosyne talk, really enjoyed it! Super interesting work & so clearly presented!

[Elina Jacobs @neurelina]

Just finished reading ‘Ghost Boy’ by @martinpistorius - one of the most achingly beautiful books I’ve come across. Highly recommend!

UK based peeps: you can volunteer to become a vaccinator with @stjohnambulance - process is super quick and easy, submitted my application online on Monday, interview on Tuesday, and I’ve already started training.
Thought I’d spread the word if anyone is interested!

[Elina Jacobs @neurelina]

@duolingo Thank you - unfortunately the problem still persists

[Elina Jacobs @neurelina]

@duolingo there is a bug in the app, can’t proceed through lesson cause I’m being told it’s a mistake even though it’s clearly correct (I flagged it within app too)

[Elina Jacobs @neurelina]

getting a dog has been the highlight of my year; given the joy he brings I’d recommend anyone to follow suit. if you’re considering it, please remember to be extra vigilant about getting your dog from a reputable source - these crimes break my heart 🙁 https://t.co/zoO8GAYkxX

If you’re worried or unsure about the new #mRNA based #COVID19 vaccines, that’s understandable. Biology and #publichealth are complex and hard to wrap our heads around. Here’s an analogy that helps grasp how our cells and the vaccine work. 1/ #MedEd #vaccine
