DuoLingo Challenge
-
Finally, after months and months of simply "testing out" of the new DuoLingo system, I have finally completed it. Those who watch my points know that I've put crazy amounts of effort into getting this "all gold." Maybe six months of huge effort, just to "re-gold" after having made all gold in the older, easier system.
-
Spanish completion is 567 crowns.
-
Spanish "maxes out" at Level 25, which is a tiny fraction of what is necessary to go gold, not sure why they don't offer more levels than that given how the rest works.
For me to get to completion took 76,853 Spanish points.

Nice! Congrats! I hope to soon achieve the same in the language I'm doing. I've been pushing lately.

@scottalanmiller That's great. I just recently started back up on this. I also started on Tandem, which allows you to actually speak/chat with other learners. I have a hard time retaining information (language) if I am not speaking it.

Same here. So hard to retain.
Luckily I have to talk to Spanish only staff every day.

That happens with native speakers as well if they don't speak to anyone who speaks their language on a regular basis. I've experienced a bit of that, confusing myself and using the wrong words from the wrong language.

I would prefer that actually. I wish I were forced to speak to someone in Spanish daily. It would really ramp up learning.

Still in Dallas for now. I love Panama though. It's a great location.

Someday.They have good Internet. It's one of the reasons that we like the location. That town is 100% wifi coverage for free.

Panama has a private education system, sort of. It's decent.

Using DuoLingo on the computer is so much better than the phone app. You can run through the lessons so much faster.
