1.Gems: Gems are virtual currency units used within the Duolingo platform. Users can earn Gems by completing lessons, maintaining streaks or achieving certain milestones. Gems can be spent in the Duolingo virtual store to purchase bonus lessons, cosmetic items for avatars or to unlock additional features. 2.Hearts: Hearts represent a user's "lives" in Duolingo. Each time a user makes a mistake in a lesson, they lose a heart. If all hearts are lost, the user must either wait for them to regenerate over time or use Gems to replenish them. Hearts encourage users to focus and avoid errors during lessons. Technical definition and description 1.Gems: Gems are virtual currency units used within the Duolingo platform.
