Rejected petition Keep developing Duolingo for Welsh learners
The Welsh Government should work with Duolingo to keep developing the app.
I have used Duolingo for over 580 days consecutively for learning Welsh. It's a fun and easy way to practice listening, reading and writing. (I wish they'd add speaking).
To stop developing this language on the app would be devastating to my learning.
Losing Welsh on Duolingo will be severely detrimental to the Welsh Government's goal of reaching a million Welsh speakers by 2050.

The other websites and apps don't come close to how useful this is.
The fact that it was connected to the new Welsh adult learning syllabus showed how effective it is. Discrepancies have appeared that need to be developed not scrapped.
