Duolingo

Does someone else have the feeling like Duolingo sometimes updates the course-order and while you get newly sorted in there is some surprise new vocabulary you did not learn before? I am doing Duo for a year and a half, in this time they did some major changes in their Design and learning scheme. So maybe I am just bad at Vocabulary but this really stuck out to me.

Wasn't very hard since i had a medium knowledge in hindi by learning it as second language in highschool, but neverthless one great acheivement in my otherless unsurprizing life. Now back to Japanese 🇯🇵

I've really enjoyed Duolingo and I think it generally does a decent job exposing you to vocabulary words and grammar, but one thing I've found problematic is that, with recent updates, there is so much repetition I feel like I'm just memorizing what certain sentences and phrases look like as opposed to "hearing" and understanding them. This has made me further realize that, while I can generally read the language I am learning, I am abysmal at going from spoken word to understanding. Does anyone have some good tips on how to get more exposure to spoken word in the language you are learning or otherwise supplementing your Duolingo experience?

So here's how to calculate it:

220 - days from start to current day of duolingo streak

167 - duolingo streak on the website / app

220 - 167 = 53

53 is how many days i have frozen my duolingo streak...

How about yours? I am curious

No button to continue 😟

I have found that I can get my 70 Lingots for my 700 day streak if I go to my https://www.duome/{user}/progress page once per week.

What kanguages are you all learning?

Mine is "bewölkt," which means "cloudy" in German. It's just a lot of fun to say!

Maybe I don't know quite as much as I could after >500 days, but I'm proud that I'm able to still motivate myself to work on it at least a little bit every day nonetheless.

So I've been using Duolingo long enough that it's become background noise: think I'm on a 780-some streak at this point.

I'm essentially only dropping by daily to do one lesson and maintain the streak, as opposed to actually wanting to learn something new. It's probably not helped by the new unit structure constantly repeating things that have just been covered; I think this is the fourth time I've worked through the weekdays in Hindi...

Which is all to ask: for those lemmites (lemmings?) who are on a long streak, how do you get the passion back?

Este vs ese is still difficult

tbh I think it's luck I got this, I finished unit 1 of Spanish (I've half efforted it) and that took a while. Just started esperanto.

Currently learning some Spanish.
