# Duolingo — The Drama of Tú vs Usted

A 114-second vertical animated stage play in which Duolingo's character Oscar acts out the Spanish forms of 'you' (tú, usted, vos) as a Hamlet-style monologue. It teaches the social stakes of formal and informal address through character comedy and ends on a question that sets up the lesson.
