    Totally agree. I used to like Duolingo, but I have dyslexia and with the sentences in Spanish, which is my native language, it really made everything confusing for me because I started mixing Spanish and English in my brain, like (Spanglish) 😅 so I noticed that and stopped, although I must say that winning the little bird cups kept me motivated. 😂

      Haha 100% - credit where it’s due, it can be addictive and the cartoon animations of the bird are petty cool

    Oh, that was a very interesting and beneficial episode! I love the tips you come up with-it feels like every word is worth considering as we learn new languages. And yes, you should challenge yourself with Arabic and Chinese, the benefits would be immense. Thanks a lot, Teacher Lewis, we've become much more insightful thanks to your advice. 🌻"

    Thank you for the video.
    The Duolingo gives the possibility to learn the grammar-basis and to stay relatively fit in the language even if you leave not in the country. And Duolingo gives the possibility to write in foreign language. Duolingo guides you consistently through all important grammar topics.
    The Duolingo is only one very useful tool of many. Your UA-cam-channel is very useful too.

    Thanks Lewis. Not sure that becoming fluent with Duolingo was ever their goal. I think the goal was to increase folk’s vocabulary and learn basic phrases with small pills every day - people know that. By the same token, watching your daily learning pills won’t make someone fluent either. Elsa Speak is for getting better at speaking.
