Duo's also on the app trend of year end reviews and wrap ups, so I thought I'd share mine. I kept up the habit, though I started doing the music lessons too as a break in language lessons all the time.
Also, just wtf is going on in the art department over there? Why is Duo's lil green butt featured so prominently?
3000+ days and 109K points?! I didn't realize we had Duo royalty up in here!
Do you study multiple topics? Do you feel like Duo's been good at teaching you?
Mostly Spanish but I hit my Arabic and Russian alphabet so I can properly anglicize things before trying to translate them but my Latin in college helps with that too.
I feel like I've got good comprehension of reading and to a lesser extent writing but when it comes to conversational Spanish or watching Spanish game shows I'm like a little baby. I dunno if it's all my concussions but differences between dialects and accents just boil my brain.
Speaking to a Spanish counterpart one time, he told me "after a day of speaking English, I'm very tired" and I relate to that.
So, if anything, I think that Duo won't adequately prepare you to have a full conversation but certainly to read or do other activities where people will talk slowly to you.
I haven't tried the math or music lessons yet since they only just added them for non-iOS platforms.
