Wales's minister for education and the Welsh language said he will write to the company to see how the government might be able to support the course's continued development.

It's actually cool to see a government body embrace new technologies to promote their language and culture.

It is! It's unfortunate that Duolingo killed the volunteer program.

I can't even see comments on lessons anymore. There was one Brazilian dude named Paulenrique who would answer anyone's questions about quirks of the language and now all his efforts to help people are just gone.

Yeah there were lots of people in the Italian comments who did the same thing. It was invaluable. Now all that work is gone. It's frustrating. I cancelled my super Duolingo subscription over that.

Yeah, tons of helpful tips on actual natives chiming in, just gone. It's a shame.
