Learning French with Duolingo
It has been almost 90 days that I have been using Super Duolingo. I am not using it religiously but it has become my morning routine that I have 88 days streak.
So, here is what I like about the app:
- The gamification with leaderboard and a community of learners
- The daily reminder that nudges you to practise
- It is available on your browser as well
What I didn’t like:
- There are some basics like numbers, days of the week and months they should begin with
- Further explainations of the structure
- A bit of history of the words could help
My verdict: It has helped me to understand the basics when I am in the supermarket or out and about. However, I am still far away from conversational. It is a good gap filler or learning aid for extra practise but I won’t fully replace it with a classroom based setting.
