>Would you recommend using Duolingo? Yes, to anyone. https://t.co/Wy9p9Lhras
RT @a16zcrypto: We received 8,000+ applications for our 2023 Crypto Startup School cohort.<U+0001F4DD> Huge thanks to everyone from all around the wo<U+2026>
I think you can only get so far learning a language without a conversation partner. I don<U+2019>t really have one, so it<U+2019>s hard to advance beyond a certain point.
>What do you like most about Duolingo? 1. The lightweight commitment, as little as 5-10 mins a day. 2. The habit-forming game elements. 3. The speech recognition software. It<U+2019>s pretty good, and speaking aloud saves a lot of time compared to typing.
>How does Duolingo compare to learning a language in school? I was shy and felt self-conscious every time I opened my mouth in foreign language class. It<U+2019>s far less embarrassing to repeat phrases over and over to oneself like a crazy person in front of a computer.
>How does Duolingo compare to other computer-based language-learning methods? In the 90s, I bought a shrink-wrapped box of Rosetta Stone software with the intention to learn Latin. I used the program precisely once. Duolingo succeeds where Rosetta failed for me: It<U+2019>s a game.
Tip: As you get more comfortable in the later stages, do lessons with the volume off or with your eyes closed. <U+0001F649><U+0001F648>
>What Duolingo learning <U+201C>traps<U+201D> should I know about? 1. Duolingo lessons simultaneously speak sentences aloud and show them written down. This dual reinforcement can become a crutch; IRL, you can<U+2019>t easily read someone<U+2019>s speech or hear how text sounds.
I started using Duolingo to learn Mandarin on January 27, 2019. I kept up a 1,142-day streak and finished the app<U+2019>s last lesson in <U+201C>legendary<U+201D> mode a couple days ago. https://t.co/kjLbC8x4Y8 Here<U+2019>s my review and everything I learned from the experience.
