Damn, they'll know I didn't finish that Spanish lesson the bird bothered me about!

They'll know I'm ~1800 days into French and still shit at it.

I hope they don't fucking send me spam.

Depending on how far you got, you might not understand it anyway.

That's the thing that annoys me most about Duolingo: if they're going to show you ads, the least they could do is show you ones in the language you're trying to learn instead of your native one.
