Learning Milestone...
Aug. 14th, 2022 09:07 amFor any Duolingo fans/users out there, I just completed the entire course in Dutch! 8D
Consecutive days = 707
Sections = 6
Levels = 6
Lessons = I have no f'n idea
I can do a decent job translating written Dutch to English. The other direction though, I still have difficulty remembering sentence structure and word order.
What's next? Well, I had the audio and verbal aspects turned off most of the time, so I have no real idea if the pronunciations I made up in my head are accurate - so I'm planning to do practice lessons with audio to make some improvements there. The big question now is whether I can keep my streak of consecutive days going with no specific goal to chase.
I don't think I'll start another language though. I had started this one as a way to make a bit of a connection back to my Dutch heritage (dad was born there). Had it not been for that, language learning would not have been something I'd have done at all.
Glad I took on this challenge. It's one hell of an accomplishment, even with the asterisks. =]
