šŸ’° Mini-Challenge: If You Received 1 Million Dollars… What Would You Do?
šŸ“ Your Task: This is a fun imagination + explanation challenge. šŸ‘‰ Please: • Answer in your target language • Imagine you just received US$1 million as a gift • Say what you’d do with it (one thing or several) • It can be realistic, generous, or a bit ridiculous — all answers are welcome • Try on your own first • Use AI as needed • Go beyond one sentence Have fun with it — there are no rules here. ā“ The Question If you received US$1 million as a gift, what would you do — and why? ✨ Example Answer (English) If I got one million dollars, I’d try to be responsible… at least at first. I’d invest a good part of it so future-me doesn’t get mad at present-me. But I’d definitely keep some money for fun — travel without checking prices, eat in nice restaurants, and maybe buy something completely unnecessary just because I can. I don’t need a yacht, but a few stupid, joyful purchases would be mandatory. ✨ Your turn. Imagine the freedom and put it into words šŸ’­šŸ’ø
šŸ’° Mini-Challenge: If You Received 1 Million Dollars… What Would You Do?

If I were to gain US$1 million, first I would pay off my fathers’ debts. After that, I would use part of the money to create an emergency fund, another part for investments, and the rest I would spend on religious items (icons, images, medals…), books, gifts for friends, donations to the Church and people in need, trips in Brazil and Europe, and courses I want to take… so many things, lol. One million dollars is about five million reais, so it’s a lot of money.
šŸ„šŸ—¼ Mini-Challenge: If You Were in Paris Today… What Would You Do?
šŸ“ Your Task: This is a fun imagination + explanation challenge. šŸ‘‰ Please: • Answer in your target language • Imagine you’re in Paris today • Say what you’d do first (one thing or a full day — up to you) • It can be walking, food, cafĆ©s, museums, people-watching… anything • Any answer is valid, even ā€œI wouldn’t know where to startā€ • Try on your own first • Use AI as needed • Go beyond one sentence Relax and have fun with it. ā“ The Question If you were in Paris today, what would you do — and why? ✨ Example Answer (English) If I were in Paris today, I’d probably start by sitting at a cafĆ© with a coffee and just watching the city go by. Then I’d walk around without a plan, maybe along the river or through a small neighborhood. In the evening, I’d keep it simple — good food, a glass of wine, and a long walk. šŸ¤– AI Helper Prompt (Optional) Please help me rewrite my text in natural, everyday spoken [TARGET LANGUAGE]. Keep it relaxed and human, like I’m talking to a friend. šŸŒ Translations of the Example Answer šŸ‡©šŸ‡Ŗ German Wenn ich heute in Paris wƤre, würde ich wahrscheinlich in einem CafĆ© sitzen, einen Kaffee trinken und einfach das Stadtleben beobachten. Danach würde ich ohne Plan durch die Stadt laufen, vielleicht an der Seine entlang oder durch ein kleines Viertel. Am Abend würde ich es ruhig angehen lassen — gutes Essen, ein Glas Wein und ein langer Spaziergang. šŸ‡«šŸ‡· French Si j’étais Ć  Paris aujourd’hui, je commencerais sĆ»rement par m’asseoir Ć  un cafĆ© avec un cafĆ© et observer la vie autour de moi. Ensuite, je me promĆØnerais sans plan prĆ©cis, peut-ĆŖtre le long de la Seine ou dans un petit quartier. Le soir, je resterais simple : un bon repas, un verre de vin et une longue balade. šŸ‡®šŸ‡¹ Italian Se oggi fossi a Parigi, probabilmente inizierei sedendomi in un caffĆØ con un caffĆØ e osservando la vita intorno a me. Poi camminerei senza un piano preciso, magari lungo la Senna o in un quartiere tranquillo. La sera la terrei semplice: buon cibo, un bicchiere di vino e una lunga passeggiata.
šŸ„šŸ—¼ Mini-Challenge: If You Were in Paris Today… What Would You Do?
Oh, das ist eine herrliche Stadt, eine berühmte Stadt für Touristen sowie für Liebhaber von Kunst, Kultur und Religion (katholisch). If I were in Paris today, I would like to visit many, many places. It would be a city I would greatly appreciate visiting, especially Notre Dame, the Eiffel Tower, the Arc de Triomphe, and the Louvre. I would probably attend a Mass at Saint-Nicolas-du-Chardonnet (a traditional Mass celebrated by the SSPX), and of course, relax at a café, drinking some wine.
šŸ½ļø Mini-Challenge: What’s Your Favorite Food? (Convince a Friend!)
This is a fun recommendation challenge. šŸ‘‰ Please: • Answer in your target language • Choose one food you love • Describe it as if you were recommending it to a friend • Be a little expressive — taste, feeling, mood • Try on your own first • Use AI as needed • Go beyond one sentence No right or wrong — just ā€œsellā€ it šŸ˜„ ā“ The Question What’s your favorite food, and how would you recommend it to a friend? ✨ Example Answer (English) My favorite food is pizza, but the simple kind. A thin crust, good cheese, and fresh ingredients. It’s the kind of food that works anytime — when you’re tired, happy, or just hungry. If you’re not sure what to eat, pizza is always a safe and delicious choice. šŸ¤– AI Helper Prompt (Optional) Please help me rewrite my text in natural, everyday spoken [TARGET LANGUAGE]. Keep it friendly and convincing, like I’m talking to a friend. ✨ Your turn. Pick a food and make us want to try it šŸ•šŸ˜‹

That’s a great question, because I would say I have two favorite foods. Ein Lieblingsessen ist Brot, weil es vielseitig ist. It never gets boring and has many uses: at any time of the day — for breakfast, lunch, or dinner — with sauce, with cheese… you can even turn a simple piece of bread into a hamburger. The other one is pizza, for a similar reason: it has many variations and never gets boring.

@Gabriel Silva I would say homehade bread (isn't necessary that he is literally made in home, because in Brazil this type of bread is purchasable in commom bakery)
šŸ¦‰ Mini-Challenge: If You Could Change Duolingo… What Would You Do?
This is an opinion + explanation challenge. šŸ‘‰ 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. ā“ 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. šŸ¤– 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.) šŸŒ Translations of the Example Answer šŸ‡©šŸ‡Ŗ German Wenn ich Duolingo verƤndern kƶnnte, würde ich mehr Fokus auf echte GesprƤche 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 lƤngere Dialoge einbauen. Das würde sich deutlich realistischer und hilfreicher anfühlen. šŸ‡«šŸ‡· French Si je pouvais changer Duolingo, je mettrais davantage l’accent sur de vraies conversations. L’application est amusante et motivante, mais elle ne prĆ©pare pas trĆØs bien Ć  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 rĆ©aliste. šŸ‡®šŸ‡¹ Italian Se potessi cambiare Duolingo, darei più importanza alle conversazioni reali. L’app ĆØ 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.
šŸ¦‰ Mini-Challenge: If You Could Change Duolingo… What Would You Do?
In my opinion, Duolingo’s purpose doesn’t need many changes, but to improve the app, it would be great if they added more conversation audio and focused on high-frequency vocabulary. Many times, I forget new words because they aren’t used in daily life.
šŸ—½ Mini-Challenge: If You Were in NYC Today… What Would You Do?
šŸ“ Your Task: This is a fun imagination + explanation challenge. šŸ‘‰ 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 ā€œI wouldn’t know where to startā€ • Try on your own first • Use AI as needed • Go beyond one sentence Think playful, curious, and personal. ā“ 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. šŸ¤– AI Helper Prompt (Copy & Paste) Please help me rewrite my text in natural, everyday spoken [TARGET LANGUAGE].

If I were in New York now, (I have to admit that I don’t know much about the city): I would walk around the streets, maybe take a taxi, and look for the famous places. Of course, I would eat at a restaurant or a cafĆ©. I might also visit the Statue of Liberty, Central Park, and some of the old churches…
