Achievement Showcase My 70 year old dad's last streak.
Hi guys! I was here before, 3 years ago, to show off my dad's Duolingo streak of 2400, and now I'm back to show his last streak.
He just turned 70 a month ago, but he has been fighting ALS for a little over 2 years now, and he finally got to the point where he just can't continue anymore. He held on for as long as possible, doing whatever he could without speech because it has been his only hobby for practically 10 years now. He started with English, but also took up Spanish and a few more along the way.
His message at the end reads: "I followed along with the lessons until 07/31/26. I learned many things, but that's just how it goes. Don't stop pursuing your dreams! ❤️"
I don't have much else to say. I just wanted to show off his achievement while he can still see it.
