Bonjour! Comment ça va?

The Duolingo app as of today isn’t letting me view units before the one I just started. Does anyone have any ideas of how to reverse this?
Duolingo isn’t my only resource for learning languages, I use a textbook and listen to YouTube videos. However, as of: Saturday, May 2 2026 I couldn’t scroll to view my previous lessons. What could be the cause of this?

I have been studying French for 2 years, Russian for 1 year and German for 4 months. I could always resort to textbooks, it’s just annoying to not see the previous lessons.

In the Russian course you can’t receive info on grammar rules, despite getting high scores in Russian it still is annoying to experience.

Apologies if you are annoyed with the Duolingo question.

The prose of the first couple of pages of Suttree are just amazing! The characters just feel so real and vivid, it’s like you’re really there. In the movie ‘Burning’ one of the character pick up a novel by William Faulkner, I believe it was his short stories collections and the actor ( Steven Yeun) said to the MC: He makes you feel like you are there. In case you don’t know, ‘Burning’ is movie where they burn greenhouses. It was inspired by William Faulkner’s stories and Haruki Murakami story.

The novel Suttree tells the story of Suttree who lives in a boat by the river and goes out and about in Tennessee. Whenever I feel down or upset I just read the first couple of pages again!

What do you think of Suttree? Is it better than Blood Meridian?
