@Grindrod I've sent you a DM! (Not sure if it'll go to the regular inbox or the hidden one)

@YeahThatCindy That’s super kind of you, thank you!

@YeahThatCindy Hi Cindy, I'm a freelance writer/editor working on a map book for Granta Books and I was interested to see if I could use the map from your 2023 Duolingo Language Report as the basis of one of our maps? Do you know who I would ask for permission? Thank you!

@kolibabski So glad you enjoyed it! One of my favorite things to do is write posts for first-time language learners. It's so valuable to remember how hard it is at the start! ❤️

Duolingo may have fans and anti-fans, and some language courses could use more love as the quality varies wildly, but articles written by @YeahThatCindy are always gems worth reading, even for seasoned language tutors and learners. Kudos, Cindy! blog.duolingo.com/learn-to-think… #langtwt

@Livvy_Mama @duolingo @AudreyKittredge Ohhh so funny, I love these linguistic ah-ha moments! 💡 Thanks so much for sharing!! 💚

@YeahThatCindy @duolingo @AudreyKittredge Hello Cindy, thank you for the article on French phrases, I've known the word "ribu goshu" as the name of a perfume for decades, but finally learned to know it's spelled "rive gauche" ans what it means!!!! Such a revelation... 😊😊😊

🚨 Are you a PhD student conducting research on learning + SLA, math, or music? Apply for @duolingo's Dissertation Grant! 💰 Applications are due MAY 31! See @AudreyKittredge's post for more details

@Laura_G_G_ @duolingo Ahh muchas gracias por tu mensaje! ❤️ Que sigamos estudiando así 😉🎶

La Dra. @YeahThatCindy no pasó horas estudiando las lecciones de inglés escondidas en las canciones de Beyoncé como para que no lo leas... bit.ly/4aszOGl

@hulyald @leahcaitrin @duolingo (And in the meantime, skipping ahead on the website would get you around this for now)

@hulyald @leahcaitrin @duolingo There was a problem here (a bug) with listening exercises on Android, and it'll be fixed in next week's app update!

@sahikhurana I agree! I think the "other" category probably also captures learners who are interested in culture and entertainment media—especially when it comes to studying Japanese and Korean!

@CinthiaMisaka @duolingo This position is not eligible for sponsorship, unfortunately!

Are you a multilingual linguist with language teaching experience? @duolingo is hiring! 🎉 We're looking for a polyglot familiar with typologically distinct languages to join our Learning & Curriculum org. YOU should apply!! Read more and apply here: boards.greenhouse.io/duolingo/jobs/…

@em_driscoll @duolingo Hi! Unfortunately I'm not on this team so I don't have particular insights! What I do know is it requires those things I mentioned above—MA, proficiency in 2 of the listed languages, and teaching expertise in a lang other than English.

@YeahThatCindy @duolingo I received a form rejection for this role in Dec, which I was surprised by since I have a nearly identical background to the Learning Designer feat on the Duo blog with the added bonus of 3 years' exp at a game studio! Do you have a window for reapplying? Would love to try again!

@trans_lingual @LinguistJosh @duolingo Yes, for this position it is! (And I understand about not wanting to relocate 😢)

@YeahThatCindy @LinguistJosh @duolingo Is this a strict requirement?

@AnantikaMehra Yes, this role is based in Pittsburgh, USA! (Others are based elsewhere, you can tell by the location listed under the position title)

@YeahThatCindy US based only or is remote okay?
