In principle, this is actually something I agree with.

The hearts, they claim, encourage users to “take a breather and review previous lessons before moving forward.” Long story short: their studies show that advancing too quickly through your lesson tree will have a negative effect on your learning. They claim the hearts are actually designed to help you - by discouraging binging. Well, the guys at Duolingo say differently. By frustrating free users, perhaps they’ll bite the bullet and part with their hard-earned cash? After all, the premium membership gives you unlimited hearts, and therefore allows you to make as many mistakes as you want. I always thought that the hearts were designed to get you to subscribe to Duolingo Plus. So why, then, does the heart system exist? Duolingo have their reasons (which we’ll get to momentarily) but I’m more convinced than ever that the hearts are not fit for purpose. They’re just too punishing and demotivating.Īnd I know many users feel the same - my article on how to beat the heart system has gone on to become one of my most popular. As much as I love Duolingo I just can’t get along with those pesky little hearts.
