Learning a foreign language would be easier 🙃 #genalpha #genx

[laurenjohnson]

All I can think about is someone trying to learn English speaking to a gen alpha kid and getting really confused and upset 😭

The Duo owl being replaced with Ohio got me 😂😭

Duolingo steals your family
Alphalingo steals your brain

[sarah-phillips]

The best is using it with your kids because not only do they hate it but they stop temporarily. I also like using it juuuust slightly incorrectly.

[VivianSlaysGirliePop]

"Because what these kids are saying is harder than learning mandarin"

FRRR!!!😭😭😭

The horrible feeling when your Gen Z but you actually were able to translate it















To all the people saying, “It’s because Gen Z made the slang terms!” you’re partially wrong.
1. Skibidi — gibberish term made by Biser King in his song “Dom Dom Yes Yes”, and he is Gen Z.
2. L — first used in sports and by Gen Xers as slang, not Gen Z.
3. Rizz — came from Kai Cenat, who is Gen Z, so Gen Z
4. Gyatt — same thing Kai Cenat Gen Z.
5. Ohio — came from Lil B’s down like Ohio, so not Gen Z, it’s made by a Millennial
6. Fanum Tax — came from Fanum who is Gen Z, so it’s Gen Z
7. No Cap / Cap — first used by Gen X rapper, Willie D in “Put The F[ri]ckin' Gun Away” as “high capping”. So it’s not Gen Z, it’s Gen X.
8. Mid — started as slang for mediocre Marij**na in the early 2000’s, making it likely Millennial slang.
9. Sigma — created by Gen X activist, Vox Day. So not Gen Z.


Of the terms here:
Gen Z origin: 4
Gen X origin: 3
Millennial origin: 2

While Gen Z made the most Gen Alpha slang of the three, you may notice that a majority of these terms are not Gen Z. The whole thing is, when Gen Z uses a lot of this slang, it’s ironically, however Gen Alpha who copy other generations’ slang, they use it unironically.

[Overtime_OChristisKing]

Bro I’m 17 and use these ironically with my friends and unironically occasionally and even I failed this😭

[brittanyfreddy]

We really need this app. Someone help the millenial parents of gen 😂 were struggling over here...

[jeffe]

I’m stoked they’ve come out with such a rad and gnarly app. Psych!

[Mini-nq]

Thank God my Zalpha kid explains these to me

[jacksonkerns]

The Alphalingo character is animated like Ohio on the state map😂😂

[robinharwood]

Out of style? I’m no square. I’m still hip and with it. No need to freak out, man. It’s all groovy.

[noracola]

[insert confused grumbling from the generation that introduced "gnarly"]

[Flairedplains]

I was born in 2009 and I still need this shi

[DavidPlass]

This happens in every generation. Like, totally gag me with a spoon.

[HannahRainbow]

This is PERFECT 😘👌 or "chefs kiss" as the kids say 😂

[Chees_and_Quackers]

An app called “genlingo” would be awesome, just learning slang from different generations.

[louisesouthgate]

I'm glad to say, noone I have ever come across, with my kids and their friends in the UK, have ever spoken like this! 🇬🇧

[sefosili]

This is what the Duolingo marketing team would do

[That_therian_Ivy]

"See what did I tell you, Your slang is as ancient as %$&!" had me laughing so hard 😂😂😂😂
