It's been a little while.

Hi guys, I'm a prior Spanish learner who used to come on a lot and has as of recent become busy. Now that I've moved to Germany from the United States I want to brush up on my German. A lot of stuff seems to have changed; I don't see an activity or immersion tab anymore, but they've been replaced with "Labs". So what else is new around here, Duolingo? And where did the old stuff go?

What do you think of these changes? Do you think it is an improvement ? Or not?

Yeah....advertising $, removal of communication ability, some favorites gone, some new additions. We hear there will be more changes soon. It is still a pretty good site for free language learning.

I don't really know how to answer where they went. They're just.... Gone. Can't do immersion or see people's activity anymore. Can't post on people's profiles, either. I think it looks better this way because it's more simple and looks cleaner. Though, I know a lot of people were upset about the changes.
