Untick the button "make my profile public" . Save the changes. Done. If you do this in your browser, the Leagues will be also disabled in the app. Please note that by making your profile private, you won't be able to follow other users nor being followed. As long as your profile remains private you will stay in the same League. If you make your profile private while you are still in a leaderboard competition you will stay in this leaderboard and may be demoted or promoted at the end of the leaderboard week, but from then on you will not join a new leaderboard. You can join a new leaderboard anytime except the last 24 hours of a leaderboard week. The list of people you are following and your followers stays the same. You can't see your friends list anymore on the main page but

This post was originally written by FieryCat for Duolingo forum . If you want to reduce the volume of all Duolingo's sounds you can simply run this short script in your browser console when you are on the main page of the site, or you can add it to your user script: Howler.volume(0.5); The command above will set the sound volume to 50%. You may replace 0.5 with any number from 0.0 to 1.0 (from 0% to 100%). Here are some examples: Command Action Howler.volume(0.1); Sets the sound volume to 10% Howler.volume(0.25); Sets the sound volume to 25% Howler.volume(0.5); Sets the sound volume to 50% Howler.volume(1); Sets the sound volume to 100% Howler.volume(); Gets the current volume level Howler.mute(true); Mutes the sound Howler.mute(false); Unmutes the sound Howler.mute(); Does... nothig :) Now I will tell you some details.

This comment was originally written by E-chan. on Duolingo Russian forum in "I can't hear the difference between words ending in "и" or "ий". What is the difference?" thread. I'm a native speaker and to me it seems that the difference in sound is indeed very subtle. The thing is that we just know what ending it should be. They mostly correspond to different word types. E.g. "-ий" would go with: - adjectives (синий, общий, третий) - participles (живущий, сказавший) - many traditional male names (Василий, Дмитрий, Анатолий) and many surnames (some surnames end with "-и" but they are of foreign origin and not as common as surnames with "-ий") - some pronouns (некий, всякий) - some nouns (but you won't see them much, all examples I could remember are rather rare words like морфий, жребий) "-и" would go with: - adverbs (дружески, адски) and verbal adverbs (сказавши, увидевши) - adjectives

Prostakov is meek and always obeys his wife. Prostakova is a despot who thinks that in her house she can do whatever she wishes. Both are illiterate. They hire teachers for their son just because of fashion but whether he learned anything or not doesn’t really matter to them. Mitrofan – their son, about sixteen years old. Ignorant, selfish and ill-mannered, very spoiled by his mother. Sofia – their relative. After her parents’ death she’s been living with the Prostakovs. Starodum – Sofia’s uncle and guardian.

This post was originally made by E-chan. on Duolingo Russian forum 12.04.2021. Today is the 60th anniversary of the first human spaceflight. On April 12, 1961, Yuri Gagarin aboard the Vostok 1 spacecraft completed one orbit around Earth in 108 minutes becoming the first human to journey into outer space. In Russia and some other countries this day is celebrated as День космонавтики (Cosmonautics Day). In 2011 the United Nations General Assembly proclaimed it as the International Day of Human Space Flight (Международный день полёта человека в космос). Here is a small collection of space-related materials which I hope you will find interesting. First of all, to practice your Russian, here is a short video recorded on the International Space Station and published today, with a script and translation below.
