The new update has removed any flexibility around the speed you progress through the learning. If you learn/pick up concepts quickly, you are now forced to move through at duolingos pace, rather than your own (which was possible before), and you now have to repeat things many more times than necessary.Perhaps the new format works better for some learners, but forcing everyone to learn in one way and at one speed seems wrong to me.I see criticisms of Duolingos stories - I think its amazing that it's inclusive and fighting ignorance and bigotry, whilst also championing free access to language learning. But the changes, and a refusal to engage with users, have ruined it as a learning app for me (and many others).
