My Break Up Letter To

What could you do less of?

Duolingo

I just got my year end report from DuoLingo. I spend on average, forty eight minutes per day on that App. It is not that I haven’t learned anything. With little fanfare, I completed my course in German.

I exited the course with lots of knowledge but little confidence in holding a conversion. With all its gamification, Duo can be addicting. This shall be my last week of winning the Diamond League. The breakup will be hard but Duo will get over it somehow.

Ich habe gerade meinen Jahresendbericht von DuoLingo erhalten. Ich verbringe im Durchschnitt achtundvierzig Minuten pro Tag mit dieser App. Es ist nicht so, dass ich nichts gelernt hätte. Ohne viel Aufhebens habe ich meinen Deutschkurs abgeschlossen.

Bis Bald

    This made me laugh! Duolingo has been something I have wanted to engage with and have felt guilty about not doing so. You have given me my out. My conscience can flog me about something else now. 😊

    Quite an image.

    I wondered about Duolingo, since I eventually want to reinforce what I’m learning in Spanish tutoring sessions.

    Im Schnitt 48 Minuten? Wow. Das hört sich eher nach reiner Zeitverschwendung an. Versuchs mal mit einem Sprachtandem (fürs Hören und Sprechen), mit normalen Büchern. Ist natürlich deutlich weniger lustig und gamifiziert, aber mit Sicherheit noch immer effektiver.

I would love to hear you opinion as well

Hello,

I’m Mark

His friends observe Mark seems wired a little differently. Perhaps it’s more likely that noticing little things often missed by others is a relic of a quieter, simpler time. He has a way with words, which he refuses to let be hindered by sub-par typing skills. People have great stories to tell if you sit and listen.

A belief dear to Mark is that there is certain beauty in the world. You simply have to look for it.
