The professor had shared the glitch around until finally, it reached a medieval history colleague of his. My brother thinks the glitch is just Icelandic being mixed in, and after I sent him more of them, he still thinks that, though he’s confused by the total absence of modern words in what is supposed to be a 21st-century language app, Just a few minutes ago, I heard back from both my brother and the professor. But, it vanished a moment later as I stumbled over how to pronounce the last word. There was a clap of thunder that shook my eyes in their sockets, and I saw a huge, half-formed, grey figure come down from the sky. I was practicing it and came across one of the strange phrases while sitting on my patio, looking at a field in the park across the street. I can’t seem to stop using it.Īnd today, I saw something strange. I lost some time the next day, and when I, for lack of a better word, “woke up,” I found myself in the middle of a lesson. So I tried to stop using the app, though I mourned the loss of my by now 280-day streak. If I am working on it while walking or working out, I seem to hear a second set of footsteps behind me. I mean, okay, global warming has been causing weird weather patterns lately, but whenever I practice outdoors and say one of the weird phrases, I hear thunder or see lightning, and often, a storm starts soon after. While I waited for responses and kept at it, weird things have happened.
However, I did send a screenshot and recording of the app pronouncing the weird words for me, to my brother, who has traveled a lot, and to a German professor at my former university, hoping he would share it around with professors from other languages as well. But, since I don’t want to lose my 268-day streak of practicing, and the rest of the program is fine, I have kept using Duolingo. I guess I should have waited until after April Fool’s Day to send in the report of this weird glitch.
