Duolingo Achievements are Stressing Me Out

Huh, Duolingo achievements are stressing me out. Why do I focus on pursuing achievements rather than learning languages themselves? Now I don't care about any achievement. I will only maintain my learning streak, you know, do at least one lesson every day.

As long as people have access to the internet, I don't see any reason why anyone cannot learn a new language.

Un des arguments fréquemment évoqué quand on parle de traductions est celui de la difficulté des langues. Les langues ne sont difficiles que pour ceux qui ne les maîtrisent pas.

My Mother: Languages are easy. I can even make up words!

My Mother: superblendertrocious

My Mother: aristocat scandalious

My Mother: scandal scoundrel

My Mother: superblenderserious

My Mother: scandal dexterious

Me: What the-? What are you saying to me? What does that even mean?
