DuoLingo Challenge

ETA: I say that because after just two exercises (repeated) I'm 10% fluent?
That can't be right.
And I had over 80 and was at 1%, so it's not the number of exercises.

My eight year old has joined the challenge! She learned about DuoLingo last night and is super excited about learning Italian. She loved learning some Spanish before when living in Spain. She did two lessons on Italian last night and has DuoLingo on her own phone now.
-
@scottalanmiller impressive, now she needs an account on ML and to post about her progress here.
-
I feel like DuoLingo is a little judgemental @Dominica
-
No beating around the bush here.
-
That was a monumental effort from 44% to 45%...
-
-
FOr those wondering, I hit 46% on Italian yesterday. To MAINTAIN this level, I had to do another 18 lessons today just to get back from 45% to 46%. That's how many lessons deprecate per day!!

If it is going to be this time consuming at 46% (or 43% for me in Spanish), how difficult do you think it is going to be as time progresses? I am not sure about Italian, but I have noticed that I am not spending as much time before the first checkpoint as I was before. Hopefully, there is some kind of logic going on so that we are not spending as much time in earlier lessons and that they will be concreted in. However, I would not be surprised to see if you could digress from fluent back to 0% if you left it alone long enough.

My Spanish was like 30% and dropped down to 1% after a long time not using it.
-
I've started using Drops (five minutes a day for free) on my iPhone as well.
-
In Italiano...
-
-
Over four weeks on a streak now!!
-
This is still up for debate. -
Level Up!
-
@NerdyDad nice. My daughter is doing a lot of DL now as well.
-
Even though I am doing an hour of Italian every day, my level has dropped steadily from 47% down to 44%. Keeping up on DL is HARD.
-
Back up to 45%, argh. Long way to go.
-
I plan on doing this... at some point. Maybe after I'm over the flu, have a job lined up in development, and am not worrying about money.
Just feels like there is too much to do to learn another language right now.
