Something new has happened in Duolingo and I love it!

Duo the very smart little green owl of Duolingo has recently introduced Legendary Level. Learners can now up their game and complete timed challenges. Once completed, the golden yellow bubble turns purple.

I recently had the privilege of getting to know Karin Ellis of Ellis Culture. It was through Speak Norsk that I found Ellis Culture and from there I attended the free online seminar hosted by Karin on Applying for jobs in Norway.

You might be wondering why I’m doing this. Am I job hunting in Norway? […]

Duolingo has helped me get daily exposure to the foreign languages I’m learning and it still does. Bless that little green owl! In 75 days I would reach a 365 day streak earning me the “Wildfire” achievement. There are 12 “Achievements” to be attained and I’ve already gotten 10. So…

What I want to achieve this weekend:

Now that I’m on a three-day workweek (lucky me!), I have more time to think about my approach to learning foreign languages, its implementation and execution. I came up with the table below to map out the days, languages and methods.

I have been thinking about how I go about my language learning using Duolingo. Now that I’ve sustained my Top 3 position in the Diamond League for a few weeks, I’m rethinking my learning strategy.

I’ve been tinkering with Norwegian and Danish for a while now on Duolingo and they’re similar to Swedish. I enjoy learning both and it’s time to get serious with them. I bought some books for a more in-depth study expanding on my knowledge of the Scandinavian languages (also called North Germanic languages).
