Murdering people who fail to complete a challenge was the next logical step for the Duolingo bird and now here it is

In preparation for Season Two of “Squid Game,” Netflix announced that it has teamed up with Duolingo to help viewers learn Korean ahead of the premiere on December 26

At this point, there *has* to be more money in spinning off the owl into its own show than operating a language learning app, right?

Like, you could do a whole shtick where Duolingo fires the owl and it has a whole series plotting revenge before regaining its rightful place, Jack-in-the-Box style.

I'm scared of that bird.. I swear it's following me when I haven't yet done my exercise for the day

This is fantastic. I flove their YT videos.

This explains a lot

I did think that was a tad sinister when it popped up. All making sense now.

Spanish or vanish.

Maybe I’ll hold off on my New Year resolution to learn Mandarin.

It's become so hostile lately.

There needs to be a report on Duolingo’s insane marketing strategy

awgyetvan.bsky.social•88 days ago

Ok,that's kinda hilarious. Very bad brand positioning for Duolingo, BTW.

heatherdega.bsky.social•88 days ago

Oh, they lean all into it. It's hilarious:

LOL. Too funny. Thanks for sharing.

They've actual made a whole bunch. Worth a dive. Glad you enjoyed it!

As someone held hostage for four years by Duo and company, it’s about time something is done about avian harassment!

heatherdega.bsky.social•88 days ago

But how was your Spanish?

desdemonasrocket.bsky.social•87 days ago

It was much better after 2 college courses than after 4.5 years on Duo, but than again I was always in the Diamond league. 🤣

I can kinda see how this popped up in the ideation process. I cannot really understand how everyone in charcuterie signed off on this.

Conjugation or Death?

I like it and think it really works well for the brand. Netflix's most-watched series, one that's not in English, coming back for a season two seems like the perfect opportunity to promote your service that strives to make learning a new language fun

Plus, it's on the unhinged line for Duolingo lol
