Easy Challenge Yourself with Duolingo
Have you always taught about studying languages but they need much commitment and you can’t provide it? Well, I know couple minutes a day is not enough to learn a language fully but will be sufficient to be accustomed with a bonus of feeling accomplishment every day.
The thing to be done to get accustomed to something is pay attention to it on regular basis. Moreover, choking down a big pile of information to parts and learn each will be more helpful to organize actions. In that part, Duolingo comes to scene.
For a brief introduction for Duolingo: Duolingo is a language learning platform with a green mascot of an owl. The platform includes many language pairs to study from. These languages go through many phases by community inspection to serve the best learning experience for users. There is a big chance you would see your mother language and if you can read this but your mother language has not be included yet, you can use English/Target Language skills. Every language has a learning tree and trees consist of leaves. In Duolingo leaves are the topics. To unlock some leaves you need to learn open leaves and go below the tree.
Here’s the challenge: Everyday study for one leaf, and that’s it.
It can be done through, doing one leaf every day, till the tree covered. One day of the week would be cheating day as we are all humans and for some reason, we may not be available to success the leaf. That way everyday new information will make its way to our brain and some small challenges will be accomplished.
Accomplishing some promised action is one of the rewards of this challenge, but there is one more reward that is important to some of us. Personally, I have an interest in languages and want to learn much more than my mother language Turkish and second language English. When I crush on a language, for a while I search for sources, follow blogs, take semester-long courses(for French and Japanese and some year education for German in high school), but they end up unfinished, cut attended. This leaves all the process in an endless loop. But by every day committing to learning a language one can meet the thirst of their language learning yearning. And in the process of wanting to learn something, that something could be learned every day in spite of waiting to take that big action. That is why this challenge gives satisfaction to language-crushers-but-no-actioners as well.
This challenge is one of my new year challenges, I want to finish at least 3 language trees by the end of 2018. I started with Turkish/German skill. It has 71 leaves in the tree by doing one for six days a week, I will be able to finish it by the end of the March and start for a new one. My other target languages are for the year is two of Italian, French, and Japanese. Well, I have accustomed to French and Japanese in some level and beginner for Italian. A decision to be made.
Which language you want to start from and what are the others in your list? I hope that this challenge comes to you doable, and you get satisfactory benefits from it. Tschüss!
