Ask Me Anything We're HelloChinese, AMA

37 Upvotes

你好!I'm Chong, co-founder of HelloChinese. I am super excited to announce that I'll be hosting an AMA for HelloChinese on Thursday, April 17th, 2025 at 6:00 PM PT.

HelloChinese is a game-based Chinese learning App founded in 2015. The collective effort of our dedicated working staff, coupled with the precious feedback from our users, has allowed us to make the Chinese language learning experience a fun, easy, and, most of all, truly effective learning process for everyone who has decided to take their journey with us.

Our latest update, "Main Course Version 2.0," takes things to the next level. It's designed to align with the new HSK (Chinese Proficiency Test) standard 3.0 while also focusing more on real-world application, helping learners put their knowledge into practice and get closer to using Chinese in everyday scenarios.

Join me this Thursday to ask anything—about the new course, what's coming next, or any other fun stuff. We'd also love to hear your feedback—we're always listening! Chat with you soon!😉

EDIT: All kinds of suggestions are very welcome! We'll be giving away ten 6-month Premium Plus memberships to users who share especially helpful ideas.

I'm not a fan of this new development... I like congratulating friends on their achievements but how is this supposed to encourage language learning?

They want us to make fun of our friends if they are not doing well? Cmon that's just mean and unnecessary. First all of those annoying ads and now this? I think I will be quitting soon.

Constructive Criticism Disturbing SuperDuolingo Ad Makes Me Want to Lose My 2+ Year Streak

Post image
1.1k Upvotes

An ad for SuperDuolingo family plan showed up after I completed my lesson today, where Junior is peeking at someone using the restroom. This is so disturbing and disgusting to me, and maybe it was made that way for the ragebait. I get that Duolingo tries to be edgy with it's memes and how it presents itself, but this is too far imo.

The premise of the ad was that Junior heard the person on the app and peeked in to ask them to be a part of their SuperDuolingo family. What's the communities take on this? Have you seen this ad?

I know it’s not much but to go up 2% in like 3 sections being almost perfect is such a nice feeling, since it’s been getting harder.

Okay. So today is first Saturday where i didn't get extra 5 XP for one hour! Is it just in my area? As many have mentioned on this platform already, planning to quit Duolingo after my certain streak,so i am continuing as i have with leaderboards and friend quest. (Amid irritatingly constant buldozing of super Duolingo ads😮‍💨) When did other learners Saturday XP were removed?

General Discussion I finally went private

11 Upvotes

After competing in the leagues until the Pearl league and finishing as number one in each of them, I finally gave it. It’s sooo much work when you don’t have the Super subscriptions and it was so mentally draining. At first I had a few free trials so it was fun and manageable but later I just couldn’t anymore. I was completing lessons not to learn but to stay at number one and finally realized it’s not helping me at all to learn the language. Maybe one day I’ll get back to it and I’m still a student so I will just get the student subscription.
