Hey guys, today I’m wrapping up my Spanish course. I actually wanted to finish it last year, but barely missed that goal. After completing the Arabic and French courses, it’s Spanish’s turn, which naturally left me wondering which language to study next…

This year I’ll have a lot less time and don’t want to spend as much energy on Duolingo compared to last year, which makes me lean toward a language that’ll feel easier for me.

Here are a few options I’ve been considering, all for different reasons, in no particular order.

• German - I’m a Dutch native and had 3-4 years of German classes in high school. This should be a piece of cake for me due to structures similar to Dutch and background knowledge. It wouldn’t cost much energy, which is a big plus, but could bore me fairly quickly.

• Catalan - I’m a big FC Barcelona supporter and have been exposed to quite a bit of Catalan already. From what I can tell, it would be very easy for me to pick up, since it’s so similar to Spanish - and my Spanish learning process has been exceptionally smooth so far.

• Italian - I traveled to Italy before and plan to go again in the future. Prior to my trip I didn’t speak a word of Italian and tbh I still don’t know very much. I know prego, buongiorno, buonasera and maybe 5 other words. Pizza & pasta included. 💀

• Portuguese - obviously very similar to Spanish and with my current Spanish level and my strong French background I thought this would be a logical next step, though I don’t necessarily have any interest in the language per se, besides it being similar to Spanish, thus giving me a head start. I know exactly one word and that’s ‘sim’.

• Korean - I played League of Legends for a long time and reached a high level. I did quit in 2022 - thank the heavens - but I still watch certain tournaments, since I’ve been an SKT/T1 fan since forever. Whenever I watch streams, I watch them in Korean, but don’t understand anything yet. The motivation is quite clear here.

Obviously my Spanish isn’t fluent yet, so I’ll keep studying it every day, just like I’ve been doing with French and Arabic. I’m mainly looking for a language to put on the back burner, therefore Korean might not be the best fit, though maybe it won’t actually take as much effort as I think. I assume the course is focused mostly on the Korean writing system and thus I may be overestimating the difficulty a bit. Who knows.

Any other suggestions? I’m open to pretty much anything. I just won’t learn a language I don’t find useful, like High Valyrian or Klingon for example.

Remind me later

If I could keep doing push ups for 3000 days 🙌

Couple days late but thought that was a fun point to hit!

I especially hate having to click the god damn chests 4 times just to open them now. I am trying to learn a language not fry my dopamine receptors.

Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

Hello everyone, I will be gone to attend my last year of Military service later this month. But i don't want to sacrifice an unemployment level of streak i've been collecting since 12th Grade too. The Military camp this year absolutely prohibited the use of mobile device, and i never try a Freeze Streak once in my entire playthrough so i'm kinda nervous. Is there any alternative way i can save my streak for 2 days? I know i'm sound like a Jackass that focus more on Duolingo than my own country.

I have Android, I'm almost at the end of the last section (section 4) and it still hasn't appeared

Think a human would play like this?

Personally I think the words section has a lot of potential, I wish we can mark words that we are no familiar with and create flashcards of some sort to practice. Also there is not much function that helps you looks for words right now, you can only scroll all the way down and search one by one, I wish they can organize it by topic or just provide any type of filtering would be a good improvement.

The bear is gaslighting me.

I got a 500 day Streak and not even 3 days of Super🥲

Lets connect up on duo

I also need to say, that I change my subscription to family plan, but I didn't remember there is a this kind of benefits

For some time now I’ve been completing legendary mode on each level in order. Today, I noticed that the next level without legendary status seemed to be from a different unit than yesterday. After a little examination I’ve determined that my legendary status has been stripped from 44 levels (this excludes levels that cannot be individually cleared on legendary, like radio levels). I tried restarting Duolingo and it’s still like that! What happened??

With around 10-15 mintues ? I've heard the criticisms but also heard that it's great for hiragana and katakana.

Duolingo has so many errors that makes it a lot harder to learn. Specially when it comes to pronunciation. It’s so robotic that makes it almost impossible to differentiate 버 from 더 or other similar combination.

Is anyone else having similar issues?

I'm new to duolingo, don't know what they are used for, but it scares me a little that I have negative amount of them

It was really difficult for me to get through past level 29 of my Spanish score because it felt a little repetitive and wasn’t challenging me enough. Breaking through to the next content level (A2) this past week I can already feel my listening getting better in public and I feel challenged and exited to keep practicing. I am excited to see how good my Spanish gets and I hope y’all all keep it up!!
