| Apr 8, 2017 at 11:53 | comment | added | Tomaso Alexander | I wasn't expecting detailed answers. I was pointing out things that should be considered before saying that there was "definite" growth in a given year. My subjective impression is that most of the people who I see actually learning the language have been learning it for longer than they've been on Duolingo. | |

ES>EO would have dups, assume ~50%, I'm not in ES>EO). 2) no idea. I've seen experienced EO speakers in Duolingo discussions where there's no EO in their list. 3) depends what behaviour. The #s are cumulative, so 1200 is for whole period since 16Sep16. Only current was from 17Mar (less accurate/projection) 4) I haven't measured other sources, eg.~>100K from Lernu, but hard to verify overlaps, other than probably non EN/ES related languages. | |

| Apr 6, 2017 at 22:31 | comment | added | Tomaso Alexander | Do we know (1) How many of the users of the various courses are unique users? (2) How many users are established speakers who signed up for the course to see what it's like or to help answer questins? (3) Whether the behavior of these 903 or 1100 or 1200 or whatever has been consistent. That is, whether the same percentage of joiners actually become learners? (4) That the "other sources" have been consistent or also increased? Ultimately, looking at learner growth by individual year seems questionable. | |
