This is an opinion + explanation challenge. 👉 Please: • Answer in your target language • Imagine you could change one or two things about Duolingo • Say what you’d change and why • You can talk about lessons, speaking, motivation, realism, or anything else • Try on your own first • Use AI as a helper, as needed • Go beyond one sentence There’s no right answer — just share your honest opinion. ❓ The Question If you could change Duolingo, what would you do — and why? ✨ Example Answer (English) If I could change Duolingo, I’d add more focus on real conversations. I think the app is fun and motivating, but it doesn’t prepare you very well for speaking with real people. I’d also include more natural audio and longer dialogues. That would make the learning feel more useful and realistic. 🤖 AI Helper Prompt (Copy & Paste) Please help me rewrite my text in natural, everyday spoken [TARGET LANGUAGE]. Keep it clear, relaxed, and human — not formal or academic. If something sounds unnatural, rephrase it the way a native speaker would naturally say it. (Use this after writing your own answer.) 🌍 Translations of the Example Answer 🇩🇪 German Wenn ich Duolingo verändern könnte, würde ich mehr Fokus auf echte Gespräche legen. Die App macht Spaß und motiviert, aber sie bereitet einen nicht besonders gut darauf vor, mit echten Menschen zu sprechen. Außerdem würde ich mehr natürlich klingende Audios und längere Dialoge einbauen. Das würde sich deutlich realistischer und hilfreicher anfühlen. 🇫🇷 French Si je pouvais changer Duolingo, je mettrais davantage l’accent sur de vraies conversations. L’application est amusante et motivante, mais elle ne prépare pas très bien à parler avec de vraies personnes. J’ajouterais aussi plus d’audios naturels et des dialogues plus longs. L’apprentissage semblerait ainsi plus utile et plus réaliste. 🇮🇹 Italian Se potessi cambiare Duolingo, darei più importanza alle conversazioni reali. L’app è divertente e motivante, ma non prepara molto bene a parlare con persone reali. Aggiungerei anche più audio naturali e dialoghi più lunghi. In questo modo l’apprendimento sarebbe più utile e più realistico.

📝 Your Task: This is a fun imagination + explanation challenge. 👉 Please: • Answer in your target language • Imagine you’re in New York City today • Say what you’d do (one thing or a full day — up to you) • You can talk about food, walking around, museums, shows, people… anything • Any answer is valid, even “I wouldn’t know where to start” • Try on your own first • Use AI as needed • Go beyond one sentence Think playful, curious, and personal. ❓ The Question If you were in NYC today, what would you do — and why? ✨ Example Answer (English) If I were in NYC today, I’d probably start by walking around the city without a plan. I’d grab a coffee, explore different neighborhoods, and just watch people. In the afternoon, I might visit a museum or sit in Central Park for a while. In the evening, I’d love to eat something simple and maybe see a show or just enjoy the city at night. 🤖 AI Helper Prompt (Copy & Paste) Please help me rewrite my text in natural, everyday spoken [TARGET LANGUAGE].

(Use this after writing your own answer.) 🌍 Translations of the Example Answer 🇩🇪 German Wenn ich heute in New York wäre, würde ich wahrscheinlich einfach ohne Plan durch die Stadt laufen. Ich würde mir einen Kaffee holen, verschiedene Viertel erkunden und Leute beobachten. Am Nachmittag würde ich vielleicht ein Museum besuchen oder eine Weile im Central Park sitzen. Abends hätte ich Lust auf etwas Einfaches zu essen und vielleicht eine Show zu sehen oder einfach die Stadt bei Nacht zu genießen. 🇫🇷 French Si j’étais à New York aujourd’hui, je commencerais probablement par me promener dans la ville sans plan précis. Je prendrais un café, j’explorerais différents quartiers et je regarderais les gens passer. L’après-midi, j’irais peut-être dans un musée ou je m’assoirais un moment à Central Park. Le soir, j’aimerais manger quelque chose de simple et peut-être voir un spectacle ou simplement profiter de la ville la nuit.

📝 Your Task: This is a creative opinion + explanation challenge. 👉 Please: • Answer in your target language • Imagine you could ask Leonardo da Vinci one question • Say what you’d ask and why • Try on your own first • Use AI as needed • Go beyond one sentence There’s no right answer — curiosity is the goal. ❓ The Question If you could ask Leonardo da Vinci anything, what would it be — and why? ✨ Example Answer (English) If I could ask Leonardo da Vinci one question, I’d ask how he managed to stay curious about so many different subjects. He was an artist, an inventor, and a scientist at the same time, which is rare even today. I’d want to know how he organized his thinking and kept learning without feeling overwhelmed. I think his answer would still be useful in the modern world. 🤖 AI Helper Prompt (Copy & Paste) Please help me rewrite my text in natural, everyday spoken [TARGET LANGUAGE]. Keep it clear, human, and conversational — not academic. If something sounds unnatural, rephrase it the way a native speaker would naturally say it. (Use this after writing your own answer.) 🌍 Translations of the Example Answer 🇩🇪 German Wenn ich Leonardo da Vinci eine einzige Frage stellen könnte, würde ich ihn fragen, wie er es geschafft hat, sich für so viele verschiedene Themen zu interessieren. Er war gleichzeitig Künstler, Erfinder und Wissenschaftler, was selbst heute noch selten ist. Mich würde interessieren, wie er seine Gedanken organisiert hat und wie er ständig weiterlernen konnte, ohne sich überfordert zu fühlen. Ich glaube, seine Antwort wäre auch heute noch sehr hilfreich. 🇫🇷 French Si je pouvais poser une seule question à Léonard de Vinci, je lui demanderais comment il a réussi à rester curieux dans autant de domaines différents. Il était à la fois artiste, inventeur et scientifique, ce qui est rare même aujourd’hui. J’aimerais savoir comment il organisait sa pensée et comment il continuait à apprendre sans se sentir dépassé. Je pense que sa réponse serait encore très utile de nos jours.

📝 Your Task: This is an opinion + reasoning challenge. 👉 Please: • Answer in your target language • Say which country you’d choose • Explain why (go beyond one sentence) • Try on your own first • Use AI as needed Think about lifestyle, culture, people, nature — whatever matters to you. ❓ The Question In what other country would you rather live, and why? ✨ Example Answer (English) If I had to live in another country, I’d probably choose Italy. I love the slower pace of life, the food, and how much people value time with family and friends. I also enjoy the language and the cultural history everywhere you go. It feels like a place where life is meant to be enjoyed, not rushed. 🤖 AI Helper Prompt (Copy & Paste) Please help me rewrite my text in natural, everyday spoken [TARGET LANGUAGE].

(Use this after writing your own answer.) 🌏 Translations of the Example Answer 🇩🇪 German Wenn ich in einem anderen Land leben müsste, würde ich mich wahrscheinlich für Italien entscheiden. Mir gefällt das langsamere Leben, das Essen und wie wichtig Zeit mit Familie und Freunden dort ist. Außerdem mag ich die Sprache und die kulturelle Geschichte, die man überall spürt. Es fühlt sich wie ein Ort an, an dem man das Leben bewusst genießt und nicht hetzt. 🇫🇷 French Si je devais vivre dans un autre pays, je choisirais probablement l’Italie. J’aime le rythme de vie plus lent, la nourriture et l’importance accordée au temps passé avec la famille et les amis. J’apprécie aussi la langue et la richesse culturelle qu’on ressent partout. On a l’impression que la vie y est faite pour être savourée, pas pour courir. 🇮🇹 Italian Se dovessi vivere in un altro paese, probabilmente sceglierei l’Italia. Mi piace il ritmo di vita più lento, il cibo e il valore che le persone danno al tempo con la famiglia e gli amici. Apprezzo anche la lingua e la storia culturale che si percepisce ovunque. Mi sembra un posto dove la vita va vissuta e assaporata, non di fretta.
