Learning Tool Deep Dive: Duolingo

January 29, 2019January 28, 2019 ~ bats ~ 2 Comments

This week on Duolingo I ended up hitting level 25, which is the max level, in Inglés para Hablantes de Español, something colloquially called the “reverse tree” when using Duolingo to help with language learning.  After completing the tree of courses in the language that one is interested in learning, so Spanish for English Speakers … Continue reading Learning Tool Deep Dive: Duolingo
