A while ago you guys said:

We're doing it internally to see what it's like to build Asian languages. There will be more Asian languages coming to the Incubator soon!

in reference to the English for Korean speakers course. Do you still work on it internally or is Korean -> English and the (hopefully upcoming) English -> Korean 100% a community effort now? Since Korean uses an alphabet, it can hopefully get a course made quicker than Japanese and Chinese.:)

Source for comment.

You definitely get more personalization in the practices

Which is probably why he said:

Duolingo has a model of everything that you know, and how well you know it, and it uses that model to choose the next exercise to give you.

Hopefully the set lessons do become more adaptive in the future though. What I really want however is Duolingo to teach grammar in a better way than they do now (instead of just a dump of tips/notes).

Thanks for the response.:) I know some people that applied, but I understand that only so many can be accepted.

Dothraki isn't even a fully complete language yet anyway and the same is even more true for High Valyrian and its derivitive languages. David J. Peterson did release a Dothraki course though.

Yeah, it is indeed really helpful for the more popular languages. Even still, it's not really what I'm looking for though. I'd like Duolingo to integrate grammar lessons and not just rely on people to answer questions in the discussion areas via info dumps.
