Summary: - Doulingo is not enough for learning a language. Nevertheless, it is a very helpful way to build the habit of your target language. - Do not quit Doulingo even if you find yourself able to speak that language. Since, it will open your eyes to some complex structures sentences never will come to your mind simply. - Do not focus on the meaning of the sentence if it was strange sometimes. Furthermore, try to change it to be close to the situation you need, and even better try to imagine what is happening? Because this will stick the meaning deeply in your brain. - Encourage others to think of you as an expert of that language so that will create a positive image of you which in turn will lead to motivate you when things go wrong.

Before I started my 800 day streak, I actually lost a streak of 72 days in Spanish... today, I do not speak Spanish at all, because I was never really properly into it, I just had the streak (meaning that when I lost the streak, I gave up).

@@Archaon97 Yeah, I'd say it's worth a try, but if it doesn't motivate you at all try something else. For me every single different method of learning languages feels like a chore, Duo was just the only one I could maintain for more than a couple of months straight. I think in the end it was the simplicity of the structure and feeling like I'm moving forward, even if that's kind of artificial. Doing something like FSI, Assimil, Babbel, Mango, Lingvist, text books, etc, I always just felt like I was bashing into a wall forever. Duo felt like I was very slowly climbing it (and I am moderatly slow - about halfway through a gold Spanish in a year). Even Duo I get tired of, and dropped down to lower daily usage at times (50 xp minimum though), but I never stopped entirely, unlike every other method I've tried.

Thanks for your comment. That sentence would actually be "MinA föräldrar är fulA." because possessive pronouns and adjectives will match the plural. Unfortunately, since I made this video, Duo has been downgraded more than once and I have a video coming soon on why it's basically just a toy now. Although the weird sentences are still good.

So glad I found your video. I am learning Welsh on Duolingo and recently started to incorporate things like learning children's songs in Welsh that I found on the web. Also, regarding weird sentences- a few I've encountered are, "Owen likes to eat parsnips in Antarctica," (but he seems to buy them in Ireland), "You did not get a present yesterday; you got nothing." and " Megan has a terrible car and terrible clothes." I find Duolingo fun (161-day streak!) but I can see the need for additional learning opportunities.

wait people think the weird sentences are useless? I have always liked Dulingo for having sentences like that and found them more helpful than "sensible" ones on other apps/sites, like yeah it doesn't just give you a phrase you can use as soon as you read it but (at least to me) it makes actually understanding how the language works way easier. I honestly thought everybody felt that way and that was the reason they're like that in the first place. I'm not even sure why learning a language in a useless way would make me feel like I understand it more, maybe just it being abstract...? idk, did anybody else find them helpful and know how to explain it lol

I thought Duolingo sentences were weird exactly because of that. The thing is, you can easily find "normal", "useful" content when learning a language. Stuff like "a ticket, please", "where is the restroom?", but sometimes you memorize those phrases as an absolute, rather than as the many distinct parts (nouns, verbs, subjects, adjectives). Duolingo's system of weird sentences helps you learn them both as isolated parts of a sentences, and as absolute. It also is easier to memorize what is what because of how bizarre the situations depicted seem. Of course, if you want to advance in a language, Duolingo should only be a part of your methodology when it comes to learning and studying. Most languages can't be mastered unless you submerge yourself into it by consuming various forms of content, if not downright going somewhere in which you need it to communicate.

I just past 300 days of Russian with Duolingo. I pick up words in Russian Laguange Movies and TV I watch one just about every day. I am really enjoying it. Oh and I flunked Spanish in High School twice. The Spanish Teacher lied to me and being the sort that I am, you get to do that once, and I just would not show up for the class, school never said a word either about it to me. Private High School and my name were on the checks for the tuition. I still have the account, I am past 65 now. Duolingo or any other study course is going to be as good as the effort you put into it. I would love to spend two to four years in St. Peterburg, Russia, and take Russian Language Classes as a full-time student. The Wuhan/CCP virus put the breaks on that notion.

Well actually no, that wouldn't fix it, because like I said, the camera's audio was broken, which meant that it was CRAZY noisy. So this volume that you hear was already pumped up about 10dB and then de-noised as much as physically possible without getting that horrible underwater effect. What's more, using Audacity to sort out problems like this (which no longer exist anyway, have you watched any of my videos made since April?) adds about an hour to the whole process, which results in hours I don't have. What annoys me about this video is that it's my 2nd most viewed, and no one seems to take into account the fact that about 40 of my 50 videos about language learning have almost perfect audio... people choose this one from February to tell me how I should do my audio... ⛔

Freshman year, I did just that. I went into japanese instead. My family ended up moving across the country my sophomore year and I couldn’t take a japanese class anymore, so i switched into my new high school’s mandarin program, and I really hate it. I’ve spent two years in Mandarin at this new school and I really don’t like it, and I heard the French program was good.
