It’s time for another Connections game! Last week, Duolingo said it will use A.I. to make language lessons and replace workers. I’ve used Duolingo for a few years to learn French. I made slow progress, but I reached almost 800 days in a row.

After hearing the news, I decided to delete the app. Now, I want to find better ways to learn French that fit my time.

Before we start, I invite you to join our Discord group. We talk about puzzles and games. Everyone is friendly, and it’s fun to hang out!
