![]() ![]() So as discussed in the article and here, Duolingo can't get you even to a low intermediate level, just the basics. You can test out of things, but if I wasn't ready to test out of the whole block I still had to go through a lot of material that wasn't useful (i.e., even testing out skill by skill, was tedious and time-consuming and counter-productive). Due to the way their system worked, I had to go through a lot of exercises that weren't useful for me because I had picked up the content with other learning methods. It helped me practice, but there were so many exercises for each set of vocabulary. I found as a few others have mentioned that Duolingo actually got in the way. Interestingly, when I was starting out, I was in Peru with a Spanish speaking significant other, and using Duolingo as well as taking private lessons. I'm probably approaching a B2 level of Spanish right now (based on my experience attaining a B2 and then C1 level of French once upon a time). I lived in Peru for a year and a half leading up to April 2022. I am just about to return to the US after 4 months in Buenos Aires. ![]()
