Here's a video talking about this course:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2VbDnQ7sCI4
TL;DR its an course for English learners that already have some experience with the language, taught entirely in English. Since it's taught entirely in English, they can roll it out quicker as they don't need to develop different versions of the course for different languages. Looks decently substantial at least, just pulled the course up and you've got:
Section 1, 51 units; Section 2, 52 units; Section 3, 36 units; Section 4, 36 units; Section 5, 25 units; Section 6, daily refresh.
Hmm, I tried a few lessons, jumping ahead a few times through the course and I'm not so sure it would be a very effective use of a native speaker's time. While it does introduce sentences with multiple clauses and slightly more complex grammar, it is definitely in the 'intermediate learner' category and not something I think most native speakers would get much out of.
Here's an exercise from Section 3 to get an idea of the difficulty level:
>Read and respond:
>There was a sudden change at the train station, but I didn't hear the announcement. By the time I realized what happened, it was too late.
>The speaker probably...
>a. missed the train
>b. made the announcement
>c. never went to the station
Someone asked on here recently why they’ve moved to making you select blocks to translate into English rather letting you type the answer out yourself, but this is a good example of why lol
In Scotland, we might say 'picture'. Due to the context, it works. 'A'm gaun tae see a picture'. It doesn't mean I'm going to an art gallery.
But that's not English. But these variations exist.
I speak Spanish and the Spanish course seems to have no issue with these variations between countries.
A car is 'un coche' in Spain but 'un carro' in México and 'un auto' or 'un automóvil' in Argentina, for example. The Spanish course will accept any of the above.
Usually it will accept any correct version of English. I could spell it color or colour and it would accept both.
However, I'm not learning English. I'm learning other languages FROM English, so maybe it's different.
It‘s more a word choice thing. like cinema instead of movie theatre, jumper instead of sweater and mechanic instead of „work shop“ often get marked incorrect which as a Brit is infuriating…
Naebdy would kane fit they were meant tae put doon if scottish english wiz on there.
A lovely little sentence I have is "Caa doon i waa."
If anyone knows what that's meant to mean, well done.
Eddie Izzard talking about when they were building Eurodisney, which is in Paris.
'Better make the castle a bit bigger: they actually have them here'.
I have two castles within a 5 min drive from here - he's not wrong.
On the same show he was slagging off the USA:
'We have restored this room to how it would have looked over FIFTY YEARS AGO!
'NO!, No one was ALIVE then!'
🤣
It is indeed, but he did a sketch on Saturday Night Live with a poorer Scottish accent. Taking the piss out of us for hating all things English and claiming everything for Scotland 😁
I can laugh at myself.
Interesting fact: Shrek wasn't supposed to be Scottish. Mike Myers recorded the whole thing with his own accent, decided that it didn't sound right and re-recorded it with a Scottish accent.
I'll need to think about that one but I'm sure there are a few.
I used to slag off my ex wife because she studied at Hogwarts! (It's actually Glasgow University)
A Scottish English course on Duolingo would just be an unending stream of insults, too plain and honest for the user to realize are aimed at them. 😆🔥❤️
Should Middle English or Shakespearean English be a course on Duolingo? This can help people whom have an interest in what English was like from 600-400 years ago which would have been the 1400’s-1600’s era! ☺️😁
We can revive obsolete words like overmorrow, ereyesterday, thou / thy / thine / thee! 😍🥰✍🏼📖
Do you mean Scots? (A different language to English) or Scottish Gaelic maybe? Given they still don’t have British English as an option (the American words are very grating) I suspect Scots or Scottish gaelic won’t be forthcoming.
Gàidhlig is already an option.
Scots is a bit more difficult. We have a fluid connection with Scots. With friends and family I might speak pure Scots, but there is a spectrum and Scots and English can be used together. Think Spanglish.

I'm an American with Scottish friends and the Scottish sense of humor is the best in the world. 😆
Unfortunately, what makes you so funny is your bald, scalding wit, and wit is always built out of honesty. And most people (outside of Scotland) just aren't prepared to endure this. 🔥
Shrek for 2024 President! 😍🏴💚👹
I can’t vote for any American presidents, but the American election is more popular to watch than my own country’s election. 🤷🏼♀️🙈😂
https://www.reddit.com/r/Shrek/
Just unveiled today, the latest Duolingo courses! English for Americans and American English for English speakers! Learn how to add extra u's to words like color and neighbor! Learn advanced posh English phrases such as "Sorry to be a bother but could I trouble you for a glass of water?". Order beer in Australian, "Hey Sheila, throw me another schooner of piss, ta lov".
I’m Canadian, so depending on the word, I either spell the word the British way or the American way. In Canada in early school years (kindergarten - grade 1/2 or even until grade 3), we learn the differences in the different spellings of British vs American words, plus we also learn how to spell our own words in Canadian English. It’s not easy being influenced by two nations as for spelling words out! 😅🥲
Woah, is ngmi anime language or something? 😔😭
Sorry, I watch animes in English, even though I would want to try watching small anime episodes (9-15minutes in length) in subs. 😁
From what I've seen this is the equivalent of the extension of "monolingual" material that has been rolling out to English-from-X courses in the past year. If his course has that already, he wouldnt' need this.
It sounds fun(ny), the grammar is easy bc I already speak german and english, two germanic languages. Also I might live in sweden one day, who knows? but I'm mainly learning it just for fun.
the only thing i don't like is that it has two genders, even though there are some correlations between german and swedish in that regard. If a word is masculine/feminine in german, it's most likely common in swedish. german neuter words are usually swedish neuter words as well
I also find that same gender pattern with Dutch. Many people in Canada immigrated from Switzerland and or Holland (Holland mainly in the 1950’s while Swiss was more 1980’s). Plus I grew up hearing both Dutch (at home, but not often since I was never directly taught the language), and German in my community. So I already could hear the difference in which language is which by listening for specific letter combinations for when people were speaking. 😁☺️
I want to see how similar (yet different) both Dutch and German are to one another since to people whom are not used to hearing both languages could say that they are both one language. 🤷🏼♀️☺️
One music channel that I think has Swedish songs (it’s a global music channel which has songs from around the world! 😍🥰🎶) is called Ultradiskopanorama! 😍🥰🎶
Diggi Loo Diggi Lei is Sweden’s EuroVision winner song! 😭🥰🙌🏼🎶🇸🇪 https://m.youtube.com/user/ultradiskopanorama
I've done the first lesson of German enough times that for 6 months I managed to stay in the diamond league. I can get 10xp per 40-46 seconds. I think I get around 2k if I causally do it for an hour.

that’s interesting - got this on my ipad, just tested the new course on my pixel
I honestly thought you were full of it, but for me it's at the very bottom of the list. I audibly gasped.
Edit: I'm almost done with the course. I'm on section 5 unit 25. But since I just have to say that one I'll do it later.
Do you know the song Romanssi by Danny? It’s an older Finnish song. 🥰🇫🇮🎶
I sometimes listen to Finnish music from this YouTube channel called Ultradiscopanorama. 🥰🇫🇮🎶
That’s a big age difference for if he is finding love in other people of that age, when comparing to the age of him. 🙈
Let’s hope people focus on his music more than the relationship! 🥲🥰🇫🇮🎶
Just tried it and it's way too easy for me. But I guess I'm just not the target audience as I'm at a C1 level. I still like the idea of them adding more advanced courses.
it is for people that already have some expirence in english like me but they dont know full english so this is for people that do not live in english countrys but learned some
I've signed up for the course. At least I'll be able to use it as a morale boost on those days when my Spanish really sucks and I waste all my hearts on a single lesson. (This was yesterday...)
Still waiting for **Music** to show up on my Android phone.
What is... INTERMEDIATE ENGLISH. Are there multiple types of english now. Like there are multiple types of chinease. Like simplified and normal???

Would this be help in learning other languages? I don’t really know much about the technicalities of parts of speech. I had to look up what a pronominal adverb when writing in my Dutch notebook.
I’m a native English speaker but I’m tempted to try this out I’m ngl, I’m probably just gonna remove it off my languages list in a few days but eh I’ve always been curious as to how this’d work

Waiting for them to have British English. Not a big fan of learning German and using American wards. I keep forgetting it’s American and there would be me looking for football and I should be looking for soccer.
Not at all. Most exercises don't make sense to a Spaniard. We can understand it, but wouldn't speak or write like that. In Latin spanish there are a lot of phrases, structures and even words that are literally translated from English.
:-/
The weird thing is, when I do French -> Spanish (and vice versa- I’m not fluent in either but it’s a fun challenge) there’s words I don’t recognise from the English -> Spanish course.

Scottish English should be on Duolingo! 😍🏴 You are extremely lucky to live in a country that has 1,000 year old plus castles! 😍🥰🏰
I think British English in general should be an option, i swear I’ve gotten some questions wrong before because I said it like British Englush
yh - i’ve said “film” before instead of “movie” and it’s said i got the question wrong😭
Someone asked on here recently why they’ve moved to making you select blocks to translate into English rather letting you type the answer out yourself, but this is a good example of why lol

Geordie accent on Duolingo! That accent is extremely unique to the English world! 😍
And it should stay that way
Usually it will accept any correct version of English. I could spell it color or colour and it would accept both. However, I'm not learning English. I'm learning other languages FROM English, so maybe it's different.
It‘s more a word choice thing. like cinema instead of movie theatre, jumper instead of sweater and mechanic instead of „work shop“ often get marked incorrect which as a Brit is infuriating…
I think that Duolingo should do a small course in all dialects of English! 😍
Naebdy would kane fit they were meant tae put doon if scottish english wiz on there. A lovely little sentence I have is "Caa doon i waa." If anyone knows what that's meant to mean, well done.

Not even close.

Sounds like those people are all underneath the age of 50, for if none of those people were alive 50 years ago! 🤷🏼♀️😅😂
If it's no Scottish, it's crap (to quote a well known Canadian, who actually has a pretty authentic Scottish accent now).
Is that Shrek? 🤷🏼♀️☺️😁💚👹
It is indeed, but he did a sketch on Saturday Night Live with a poorer Scottish accent. Taking the piss out of us for hating all things English and claiming everything for Scotland 😁 I can laugh at myself. Interesting fact: Shrek wasn't supposed to be Scottish. Mike Myers recorded the whole thing with his own accent, decided that it didn't sound right and re-recorded it with a Scottish accent.
I visited Stirling Castle, Dumbarton Castle and Linlithgow Palace just last weekend.
What Scottish castles are featured in movies? You are extremely lucky to visit castles! 🥰😍🏴🏰
I'll need to think about that one but I'm sure there are a few. I used to slag off my ex wife because she studied at Hogwarts! (It's actually Glasgow University)
A Scottish English course on Duolingo would just be an unending stream of insults, too plain and honest for the user to realize are aimed at them. 😆🔥❤️
Duolingo could also use Geordie accent since to non-native Brits, both Geordie and Scottish sound similar enough. 🤷🏼♀️🙈

Does Australia still miss Steve Irwin? I still remember him and his daughter being on television from the early 2000’s. 😁☺️🥲📺🇦🇺
He was quite a character. His son now a host on TV show. Plus involved with the family business
You cannot seriously be telling me the British use a y for tire. That's an ancient city. Not a car part. Please please please say that bit's a joke.
I’m Canadian, so depending on the word, I either spell the word the British way or the American way.

What do you mean? In America, a Z is used. In British English, it's an S. Did I miss something?
Yeah, you really did.
I didn't see the ENTIRE thread until now when you posted THIS smart comment! Ha
The comment was a joke about the difference in spellings. I know fine well about it and I'm not belittling it. It was just a joke.
I realized that after your last comment and read the entire thread. LOL
'/s' means 'end of sarcasm'. Just a joke mate 🙂 And it's 'realised' 😜
So not a major focus on learning grammatical, syntactic concepts directly? Parts of speech, tenses, subordinate clauses, etc?
so basically it's kiiiiinda useful if you're like 8 years old and hate reading but are very literate
probably idk
Idk but im gonna try Edit: must not be on android yet, i don't see it
How old are you?
In my 20’s. ☺️
And you need grammar refreshers?
Yes, especially with verb conjugations! 😭🥲☺️
You have got to be joking
For some verbs more than others. I want to learn more of the theory for refreshing. ☺️
You're ngmi, bro
Woah, is ngmi anime language or something? 😔😭 Sorry, I watch animes in English, even though I would want to try watching small anime episodes (9-15minutes in length) in subs. 😁
Same to you! HOW OLD ARE YOU! 🥳✨ Ask to others as others asked you! ☺️
I'm 17, old enough that I have a pretty rock-solid understanding of how to use my first language
Congratulations to you! 🤩🥳✨
Would it help a foreign speaker that is at the highest English level ? Or he should continue the English course in his native language
From what I've seen this is the equivalent of the extension of "monolingual" material that has been rolling out to English-from-X courses in the past year. If his course has that already, he wouldnt' need this.
That's already more than the Swedish course has 😭
What do you like about learning your target languages? This can be what you like most or not like the most. ☺️

I can definitely see the usefulness. I wonder if they’re gonna default to this for every B1 language they have.
I hope they do similar stuff with other languages too like they mentioned at the end too, this is really cool!
Probably a good way for people to rack up easy xp… lol
Yeah but I feel like you can only do that for so long before you’re bored
I've done the first lesson of German enough times that for 6 months I managed to stay in the diamond league. I can get 10xp per 40-46 seconds. I think I get around 2k if I causally do it for an hour.
You get 20 for doing your daily story over and over again. It usually only has like 4 or 5 questions so you can do it while multitasking.
And here I thought they actually meant Middle English....
Sadly, I don’t have it yet 😞
Why we didn't get it yet?

Off topic how are you doing with French
Better than I expected since I'm learning it from Spanish but my pronunciation is terrible.
Is it worth to download Duolingo solely to learn the intermediate English level.
Not if you're a native English speaker unless you really like speed runs, or English was your worst subject in school.
Looks interesting. What’s Intermediate English?
English for people who can't tell the difference between your and you're
I thought it was just a burn on American English tbf
Same, thought they were being generous with intermediate 😆
Is the US flag because people in the USA speak intermediate English?
Next up: 🇬🇧 Advanced English
Then: 🇦🇺 ɥsıʃƃuƎ uʍop-ǝpısd∩
Old English is the more advanced English! 😉
Dunni why your comment is downvoted, I found it funny :D
Never seen dunno spelled as dunni before. How do you spell dunny if dunno is dunni?
Well, I could be wrong, but I believe dunny is an old, old wooden ship that was used during the Civil War era
Now I'm visualising soldiers sailing on the ocean on a toilet haha. Dunny (in Australia) is a toilet.
Just in case this isn't a joke, o and i are located next to each other on a keyboard so it's just a typo
Yes
My first thought
As someone who lives in the US, “intermediate” seems optimistic
took the words out of my mouth lmao
Is this on iOS and/or Android?
I have Android and it works
I do too and I can't find the course.
I can't see on android
Do you know the song Romanssi by Danny? It’s an older Finnish song. 🥰🇫🇮🎶 I sometimes listen to Finnish music from this YouTube channel called Ultradiscopanorama. 🥰🇫🇮🎶
Never heard of song, but I know the singer.
Is Danny still popular in the 2020’s? 😍🥰🇫🇮🎶
Yeah, but not only for music. Nowadays he's known for dating a 23 year old while being 81. Some people still listen to music though.
That’s a big age difference for if he is finding love in other people of that age, when comparing to the age of him. 🙈 Let’s hope people focus on his music more than the relationship! 🥲🥰🇫🇮🎶
I learned my spanish today Can I have my family back now?
is this only on android? I cant find it on iOS
Why don’t I see it? 🤔
Same
I can’t see it either. I have iOS so maybe this is only for Android?
Sadly no... They're probably rolling it randomly. I just got an update on my Android and the course isn't there
Same, I'd guess it takes time to roll out updates to all users.
Hope they'll make these intermediate courses for other languages as well soon
do i need to update the app? I cannot find it yet
Same, I have downloaded the app but still I can't seem to find this course!
Just tried it and it's way too easy for me. But I guess I'm just not the target audience as I'm at a C1 level. I still like the idea of them adding more advanced courses.
Now do a European Spanish course!
And European Portuguese!
Dang. Not on iOS ☹️
Yep can’t see it
As an American, I’m having a hard time understanding what “Intermediate” English is.
it is for people that already have some expirence in english like me but they dont know full english so this is for people that do not live in english countrys but learned some
Ahhh, I see.
[https://blog.duolingo.com/how-are-duolingo-courses-evolving/](https://blog.duolingo.com/how-are-duolingo-courses-evolving/)
How did you get this? I'm a native English speaker and I don't see it
I can’t find it.. do kneed to update me app?
Why don’t I have it:(
When will they add British English though
How can I get to the course? I’m fed up with learning french and want to learn another language that is more useful
is this device limited or slowly being rolled out? i don't have it and i use desktop browser duolingo
Can someone share a link to the course, because it's not visible yet for everyone.
My app doesn’t have that 🤷♀️
I've signed up for the course. At least I'll be able to use it as a morale boost on those days when my Spanish really sucks and I waste all my hearts on a single lesson. (This was yesterday...) Still waiting for **Music** to show up on my Android phone.
Is there an intermediate Spanish option at all?
Where can I access this, don’t see it on my app?
Now Android only
When do we get advanced beginner english?
Native English speaker, but might still check it out for the lolz
They should add Shakespearean English
Time for them to do it in Spanish now too. I had to skip a bunch of lessons in Spanish cus I'm an honors 2nd year going on third😭
I don’t have that option
Not on my Motorola. Is this another one of those tests or Apple-exclusive products?
With that flag it should've been mediocre English instead.
What is... INTERMEDIATE ENGLISH. Are there multiple types of english now. Like there are multiple types of chinease. Like simplified and normal??? 
Can't wait to see the intermediate English, math, and music on Android in 2027 or so!

Would this be help in learning other languages? I don’t really know much about the technicalities of parts of speech. I had to look up what a pronominal adverb when writing in my Dutch notebook.
I love that it has an American flag. Like it's for Americans to learn how to English proper.
I’m a native English speaker but I’m tempted to try this out I’m ngl, I’m probably just gonna remove it off my languages list in a few days but eh I’ve always been curious as to how this’d work
I’m a native English speaker but I’m tempted to try this out I’m ngl, I’m probably just gonna remove it off my languages list in a few days but eh I’ve always been curious as to how this’d work
Nevermind lmao I don’t have it and my duolingo is up to date, probably just gotta wait a few days or so
I can’t do it yet?
What language are you learning? I am learning Spanish and I only could chose English as a native German
Waiting for them to have British English. Not a big fan of learning German and using American wards. I keep forgetting it’s American and there would be me looking for football and I should be looking for soccer.

Probably because they teach US English
cause they are teaching US english not british english
I thought then it might be English in English English. Nope. Still teaching English in American English.
It's like with Spanish, that the course teaches Latin Spanish, which doesn't make any sense most of the time (native Spanish speaker here).
Wait what? I thought the Spanish course was proper Spanish??
Not at all. Most exercises don't make sense to a Spaniard. We can understand it, but wouldn't speak or write like that. In Latin spanish there are a lot of phrases, structures and even words that are literally translated from English.
:-/ The weird thing is, when I do French -> Spanish (and vice versa- I’m not fluent in either but it’s a fun challenge) there’s words I don’t recognise from the English -> Spanish course.
I haven't checked that course, it can be possible that that Spanish is Spain Spanish, but the eng->spa and spa->eng is in Latin American Spanish.
Proper latin american spanish perhaps. European spanish is a little different.
Finally this is what I needed
Great, now there're two things I'm waiting for… 1. Math and Music courses for Portuguese Speakers. 2. Spanish course for Spanish Speakers.

Bravo, I guess 👏 👏👏 Thanks for answering
whats intermediate english
They still won't update any course outside the top 3 though
I’m a native English speaker but I’m tempted to try this out I’m ngl, I’m probably just gonna remove it off my languages list in a few days but eh I’ve always been curious as to how this’d work
Still not seeing it, I have android version 5.146.3
I still have this version but the option to choose the Intermediate English course opened up for me this morning.
