About my duolingo app journey. How I started learning english

In this post, I try to describe my experience with the Duolingo app, how many times I use Duolingo, what I get from it, and share my opinion. I hope my post is understandable and that someone is reading this post. Thank you.

I started using Duolingo on October 24, 2020, and I’ve used it every day. I missed or forgot to use Duolingo only 16 times in 4 years and 6 months. I’ve spent 1688 days in Duolingo, and during that time, I completed the "English course" for Russian speakers. Now I’ve started to learn the "Intermediate English" course for English speakers. But now I don’t want to complete each lesson, instead, I want to complete one unit each day. If you don’t know what a unit or section is, I’ll try to explain. My course is called "Intermediate English." This course includes 4 sections, and each section includes several units. Each unit also includes lessons, maybe 30–40. Right now, I’m in Section 1, which has multiple units, and I try to complete one unit each day without finishing every lesson, and then move on to the next section.

What can I say about the Duolingo app? I don’t know. Honestly, I think that cute little owl gave me more than I expected. I didn't learn anything in my English class at school. I couldn’t even connect a few words to make a simple sentence. But now, after Duolingo, I feel more confident. I can make sentences, I can speak, yeah, I still make some mistakes, but I can express my thoughts and explain what I want, and understand other people. So I think that cute little owl is useful. But if you want to go further, you also need to practice listening, reading, speaking, and writing.

What’s next? I’ll continue using Duolingo until I complete my "Intermediate English" course. After that, I’ll use Duolingo in a light mode to review and not lose my streak. I hope I can finish the course this year.
