It could explain to the user why their answer is wrong

FWIW that feature has existed in the premium version for about a year or so

    I abandoned Duolingo 6 months ago. If that's true, they failed to advertise that to me. In any case, with modern llms you don't need Duolingo for that. You can ask them. You can copy-paste any article on a subject that interests you, and ask an llm to simplify it to your A1-A2 level. You can ask it to generate exercises, to explain things. Flashcards? Please, Anki is free.

    When I got rid of Duo, it had removed the crowd sourced explanations and only had the super-premium support in select countries, so even if I wanted to subscribe to it, as a non-American, I couldn't.

    Mind you, I didn't want the AI-based version because yeah. I could use Anki + ChatGPT for free.
