]When the language_abbr of a language is known, but the full language name
is not, Duolingo.get_language_from_abbr() can be used to get the
full name. This only works for languages that the user is learning.
>>> lingo = duolingo.Duolingo('kartik')
>>> print lingo.get_language_from_abbr('fr')
u'French'When the language_string of a language is known, but the language
abbreviation is not, Duolingo.get_abbreviation_of() can be used to get the
abbreviation. This only works for languages that the user is learning.
>>> lingo = duolingo.Duolingo('kartik')
>>> print lingo.get_abbreviation_of('French')
u'fr'The Duolingo API returns a "before" value with each request to the activity stream. To get the previous set of data in the stream, feed it the 'before' value from the current stream.
>>> lingo = duolingo.Duolingo('kartik')
>>> print lingo.get_activity_stream()
{
u'more_events': True,
u'events': [
{
u'type': 'practice',
u'language_string': 'German',
...
},
...
],
u'js_version': u'//url_to_javascript',
u'before': u'2015-07-06 05:42:24'

}Returns the translations of a list of words passed to it. If source is none, it is assumed to be whatever language the user's Duolingo UI is in. If the target is none, it is assumed to be the language the user is currently using, as determined at login time.
The returned object is a dictionary containing a key for each item in the words list, with a list of translations as its value.
>>> lingo = duolingo.Duolingo('kartik')
>>> lingo.get_translations(['de', 'du'])
{
u'de': [u'of', u'in', u'from', u'by'],
u'du': [u'of the', u'from the', u'about the', u"'s", u'about',

u'vor', u'\xfcber'],
u'du': [u'der', u'nach', u'zur', u'\u2205']
}Gets the user's vocabulary for a given language. If language_abbr is none, the user's current language is used.

}Returns a list of voices available in a given language.
The list will always contain at least one voice, but that voice might not always be named 'default'. For instance, the only voice available for Turkish is named 'filiz'.
>>> lingo = duolingo.Duolingo('kartik')
>>> print lingo.get_language_voices('fr')
['default', u'mathieu']
>>> print lingo.get_language_voices('tr')
[u'filiz']
>>> print lingo.get_language_voices('de')
['default']Returns the path to an audio file containing the pronunciation of the word given. The language defaults to the user's current learning language.
The voice used by default is randomly selected from Duolingo's available voices. To get a specific voice, pass the voice parameter with the name of the voice. To get the default voice (which is mostly an implementation detail), set random to False without passing a voice.
>>> lingo = duolingo.Duolingo('kartik')
>>> print lingo.get_audio_url('bonjour')
'https://d7mj4aqfscim2.cloudfront.net/tts/fr/token/bonjour'
>>> print lingo.get_audio_url('hallo', language_abbr='de')
'https://d7mj4aqfscim2.cloudfront.net/tts/de/token/hallo'
>>> print lingo.get_audio_url('bonjour', voice='mathieu')
'https://d7mj4aqfscim2.cloudfront.net/tts/fr/mathieu/token/bonjour'Returns a list of "related words" from the user's vocabulary list. For instance,
for the German verb "gehen", get_related_words will return a list of
miscellaneous conjugations like "gehe" and "gingen".
The dictionaries it returns are identical in format to those returned by get_vocabulary.
>>> lingo = duolingo.Duolingo('kartik')
