Sitting outside during a band concert because my toddler is DONE, but at least I get to appreciate the beauty of our campus on a quiet summer evening. šŸ’ššŸ’› #ShawneeMissionSouth #RaidersWeEverShallBe @SMSouthTDain

Shortly before the pandemic began, I started studying German on Duolingo. When the world shut down, I decided to challenge myself to make it to 100 days. Here we are, 3 years laterā€¦

And to address the question, ā€œDo you recommend Duolingo?ā€ My answer is: Itā€™s a great tool. You canā€™t fully learn a language with it. But as one aspect of your language-learning journey, it definitely has its benefits.

Duolingo is helpful for vocabulary building. It has helped me get a feel for correct sentence structure in German. BUT! If you really want to learn a language, you HAVE to interact with other humans. Duolingo (or any other language-learning software) is just a tool.
