DuoLingo Challenge

@scottalanmiller My oldest wants to take German for his foreign language requirement. I am thinking it would be good for both of us to learn it together so he gets more out of it. From the looks of it, duo lingo is the most popular. What pace should i go at? casual, regular or higher?

DuoLingo is the most popular by leaps and bounds. More people in the US use DuoLingo that attend US public high school foreign language! It's insane how heavily used it is.
You can change the pace anytime. I set to insane and shoot for a minimum of double that
If you are using it for a high school class, you'd want nothing less than 50 points a day that should only be ~20 minutes of time. -

Was easier for me when i was working at home. Now that I drive an hour each way to work, I'm exhausted by the time I get out of car.

Yes, I've done a bit of it.

Dark mode just released.

Major update to DuoLingo on Android today. New mechanisms and more Spanish content.

Got to the 250 Day Streak!

Finally got the "finish first in your league" achievement. It's easy if you do it at Bronze. But I waited till I was hovering no Obsidian. Ugh.

Not quite all. But really trying Spanish, Italian, French and German. I dabble in things like Dutch, Swedish, Portuguese, Latin, etc. And I try Romanian a bit because I can speak it anytime as I have friends there. Spanish and Italian I've both completed DuoLingo once or more and have used while living in native speaking countries. French seems to come easy and is potentially quite useful. I wish Portuguese wasn't so hard

It comes out to about 25 minutes every day. Perhaps doable 15 minutes twice a day. For me it's not so much about the time as it is about using that time for something else instead. That's why I can't maintain a streak, other things to do instead when I do have the time.

I do about 8 minutes of Drop Spanish per day too. Every day. Streak is well over 300 days.
