Today, I, Onjena Yo, have joined the one year club of the elite Duolingo Streak Society, finally joining my two sisters. When I announced that I was nearing this milestone, a version of the story in our ¡Viva! ¡Sip! comic below played out. At least, that’s how I’m telling it. Kikikiki!

I mean, some of us did not need “streak freezes” to achieve our milestones, but I do not want to continue THAT passive-aggressive streak... [INSERT SIDE EYE]. The real MVP is Miss TJ (aka Coach Wilkes) who uses the Duolingo language learning app to supplement her high school Spanish curriculum. She even manages to incorporate American Sign Language (ASL) into her lessons! ¡Qué genial!
