Delete Duo. People before machines, techie scum.

1 universe, 8 planets, 7 seas, 7 continents, 809 islands, 196 countries, and I had the unfortunate luck of finding out that you exist. GAY AND LESBIAN CONTENT IS SAFE... WAIT... with your logic....does this mean that straight content is unsafe for gay people's kids???? gays are not dangerous. and if listening to this podcast disturbs you, you can fuhhh off. btw, if listening to the podcasts you listen to makes people turn out like u, I will keep my kids away from the podcasts you listen to... people like u are the reason that I added so many pride flags to my username u idiot.

This is a great podcast for intermediate learners. Please publish some new episodes!!!

This podcast has been a critical part of my learning Spanish - Especially my hearing & comprehension. I think it’s the perfect mix of context (gracias para the English ) but then the use of intermediate vocabulary - just right for beginners & intermediate. The stories too are so moving and interesting - it really makes me want to keep listening. Gracias!

The Duolingo Spanish Podcast is only okay to me, which is why I only gave it three stars. First of all, I LOVE the idea of a Spanish podcast. But for me, it’s just a little TOO Spanish. When I first tried listening to a podcast, I didn’t understand a word I heard! I know this is a podcast, and podcasts are for listening, but I feel like since all of us are still LEARNING Spanish, maybe there could be some way for us to translate the words other than with our own brains. So, I love the idea, but give us some sort of translation of the story, please! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Awesome app that is really supporting my learning. Thank you for representing a variety of people, situations, etc. Love seeing popular apps being inclusive ❤️

I think the podcast is good but would be much better if you would avoid trying to advance a political agenda. Teach language and stay away from all the other nonsense.

Hey I’ve listened to these episodes time and time again, and I really love the podcast, but there hasn’t been a new episode for a little over a year, what’s going on Duolingo? Please give us a new episode!

Seriously, where did you go? I miss your stories and bilingualness!

I lot of ppl hate the gays stuff and other ppl like the gay stuff and hate that ppl that don’t like it. A lot of ppl are asking why we don’t like it ITS OUR RELIGION your gay stuff and pride stuff is like your religion. Everyone is like “I don’t think ppl will like me bc I like boys” no one cares, no one can control who you like, and it’s not like we are screaming TAKE THE GAY STUFF OUT we are just saying our opinion, RESPECT OUR RELIGION

I love the duolingo app and podcast but I don’t like the lgbtq episodes on the podcasts I know many people will get angry at me but it’s my opinion it’s my opinion that god is real it’s your opinion that it’s okay to be gay. it’s all okay 😮‍💨 Also I know racism exists but I have never seen anyone be racist at school at work or anywhere either I am lucky or unaware. ALM(all lives matter) goodbye and,May god bless you all.

languages are for EVERYONE

I did not Bo my lessen sanish or vanish you took my family 🔪😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 mad cistern good

I’m so grateful that this podcast exists! I have been using it as a supplemental tool to learn Spanish and it is terrific! I love the variety of topics, geographic locations, and lived experiences of the characters and narrators that are represented. I especially appreciate when the narrator describes differences in dialects and pronunciation based on location. I highly recommend listening to this podcast! It’s awesome and it has really helped me to improve my Spanish listening skills.

Why? Why do so many people (you the comment) hate the LGBTQIA+community? Being apart of it myself I really can’t understand why people can get so cruel. Just because someone is now their true self, or they love someone does not allow you to suddenly hate them and hurt them! Support black, women, LGBTQIA+ rights!!! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️⚧️

What do you have against gays? Everyone should be included… I think this is an amazing podcast and that bad comments should be ignored. Little kids will learn about gays eventually and why not now? LGBTQ BIPOC ❤️ 🏳️‍🌈 ⚧️ Black Lives Matter ✊🏿

Kittyboba or something. No I don't want to be saved by your God. He doesn't exist just like dragons don't. Stop hating other people because they don't feel the same way as you. I don't hate you although all that you said was bag fiction to me. Those who responded to kitty using curses, you are hating someone for what they believe. Worst case scenario they are completely wrong. You don't know their story. Don't curse someone because they are wrong. It hurts the cause. The cause I support despite not being LGBTQIA+ myself.

Thank u Millie ur absolutely right and I don’t see the community if you like girls then like girl nobody should have to be ashamed about that and you hurt people as a bi I’m deeply hurt

I see where you’re coming from but as a Christian you should respect the LGBTQ community and not ridicule or hate them because that doesn’t make you better. I am not LGBTQ but I am Christian. The way you delivered your statement was a little rude and may have offended people.

Gay lesbian content. Not appropriate for children Please be aware!!! This is not meant for your child!!!

This is really good for my kids to learn their language and their heritage!(p.s.you should make a Japanese one too!)

I’m taking a Spanish class weekly online with a teacher in Guatemala and info Duolingo daily and these podcasts are my favorite part of my Spanish education! Enriching stories and that challenge my skills with just the right amount of context help from Martina Castro. I always look forward to listening!

I listened to one and didn’t get anything

Listening to the podcast in Spanish is so helpful to improve my listening, grammar and language skills. The transcripts on the website really help me with the words my ears don’t pick up yet. Thanks!

If I could do zero stars I would. LGBTQ?! Transgender?! What the heck ?! For starters is everyone brainwashed by Satan ?!!!!!!! A man and a woman are the only ones meant to be together. Oy. I am Messianic Jewish which is the same thing as Christian. What happened to our souls? Free Will really messed us up. But if you are Christian also and listening to this and agree with this stuff then you are not living your life as a Christian. You are living your life as the devil’s slave. He ( Satan) uses small sinful things that seem ok at the beginning until you are fully blinded ,so that you can’t tell which is wrong and what is right. I am not trying to force you into my faith I am only warning you. Keep faithful to the Lord until the end of this idiotic world. And he will protect you and take care of you. I used to be one of the devil’s slaves, a film covering my eyes and heart. But now I am FREE. Don’t you want to not have a care in the world or know that the king of kings is your father who will never abandon you or forsake you. God is forgiving. He says you are His. You are priceless in His eyes.

Really fantastic to practice listening comprehension. Love the stories. And 10 stars for the inclusivity! If you’re threatened by LGBTQ+ existing and being represented, that’s a you problem.

Please bring these back!!! I’ve listened to all seasons repeatedly and learn, love more each time!

So fun as I learn more Spanish being able to better understand the stories. The stories are so good even my boyfriend who speaks Spanish deals with the slow speaking (to him) because of how good the stories are! Thank you so much. Never stop please.

I’m currently working on my fluency in Spanish, and as a non-binary Lesbian, the comments on “LGBT is not ok for kids OR adults” and “this is obviously propaganda” are homophobic and bigoted. If you don’t like it, don’t do it. Otherwise it’s great, and has helped my learning.

Far left radicalization at its finest. Trying to indoctrinate our youth one podcast at a time.

This podcast is amazing I love all of the inclusivity to LGBTQ and BIPOC it is an absolutely amazing podcast thank you I love everything about it and now I speak fluent Spanish -Ivy

Why putting lgbt on all the stories ? It use to be a good show I used to listen to the show every night before going to bed. all the stories have LGBT characters and it’s not just one story lots of them .Little kids are listening to some of those stories 2 .So pls make less Lgbt characters

The educational value for Spanish learning is very high. However, the editors and producers frequently romanticize left wing socialist ideology while speaking negatively about any conservative government. Clearly, the writers have an agenda which severely detracts from the mission of language learning.

It’s fine to include sexual orientation but why just this area? Why not multiple spouses? Political ideology? Use slogans as learning points? Example: Western nations are colonialists? If you want to be inclusive, limiting where you do so is hypocritical and distracting. Stick to ‘generic’ and empower each student to apply their unique focus for themself. But I love this app.

This is a good podcast. The reviews saying that this is "far left propaganda" need to realize that no it is not. This podcast is inclusive, not "propaganda". I appreciate the diversity in these stories, especially the LGBTQ+ representation (I am personally non-binary and bi). This is an amazing podcast and I love it! So don't listen to those reviews saying this is propaganda (I actually saw one saying that this is 'marxist' ;-;), those reviewers need to grow up

Ich lieben das Podcast, ich komme aus Deutschland 🇩🇪 ich mache duolingo für Englisch und Spanisch ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ sterne

I did my Spanish so please no vanish

The first episode says that it is reviewing a movie that is rated R but the review is for all ages. Then it immediately goes into explaining how the protagonist of the movie are gay and they’re dealing with homophobia in Cuba. That is not appropriate for all ages. That’s not even appropriate for adults but here we are.don’t say something is suitable for all ages and then start digging into issues about sexual preferences.

Listening to these pods within the Duolingo app as lessons was one of my favorite features that you removed. Please add them back.

II'm I'm I'm e
