    For me, the gameification of Duolingo pushed me away. The fact that if I fail 3 times I had to wait to generate more “chances” is absurd when it comes to learning a new language; especially if that new language is a whole new character set, like Mandarin or any Cyrillic language.

      This feature works for me. I tend to try to learn too much too fast. This regulates the time I spend learning in one day based on how tired I am. When it’s too much, the mistakes accumulate and I’m forced to quit it for the day.
