I'm sorry to hear you have been in some of the hurricanes recently. I'll post all news I know of that are fairly recent:

• Czech and High Valyrian are available on desktop
• Korean and Japanese are available on mobile devices.
• Chinese is in the Incubator.
• A new health system for mobile users has been implemented, currently as an A/B test (half of users have it, half don't)

I'm probably missing a lot, but this is what I feel is most important for a returning Duolingo user.

Hi ChocoletLabLover! Good to see you back!

What has changed since you left is

1: The forums are buggy and weird.

2: Duolingo events has been added to Duolingo labs.

3: CHINESE HAS BEEN ADDED TO THE INCUBATOR!!!!

4: Changes have been made to Duolingo Schools.

5: Activity was removed.

6: Czech, Japanese, and Korean were released in beta.

7: High Valyrian was released out of beta.

8: Lessons on the web were redesigned.

I can't think of anything else right now, but if I do, I'll add it to the list!

..... changed 9if any has) in the past 5 months please?
