Just broke 700 days and it’s gotten so spammy and has loot boxes and stuff that I’m just gonna delete it. Only reason I went this long is that MPA made a comment that his duolingo streak was longer than his marriage and I thought that seemed fun

Way too much spam. I thought it was fun at first but the casino game nature was a huge turn-off. It actually did seem useful to learn passively for 20 minutes a day. I also never fully grasped how to turn up the difficulty. Felt like I was stuck on a low level forever. Too repetitive. Someone should make a version of this that isn't so extractive. Too much greed honestly hope it fails.

665 days, last 250 or so days have been doing chess though.

Which is much easier for my ADHD riddled brain to knock out.

I don't take any particular pride in it, just a thing to kill time, when I'm waiting somewhere for something.

I’ve switched to chess too. It’s ok but the lessons aren’t very detailed. Just like “move here it’s better trust me”

Yeah, I'm not under any impression that it's good for anything you seriously want to learn.

I did French for several months before we took a trip there, still struggled quite a bit with normal pleasantries.

If you actually want to seriously learn something you need to spend more time than a gamified 10-20 minutes a day.

If I actually wanted to learn chess I should use a computer program that analyzes your games and tells you which moves were mistakes, alas, what Duolingo has going for it is that the interface is fairly fictionless.

Its a cheap plastic toy.
