Hi y’all,

It’s been a while since I have shared my progress on my learning project. I currently have a 16 day streak on Duolingo which means I have practiced my French on the app 16 days in a row. Some days I practice for 5 minutes and others I practice for a bit longer. I haven’t yet explored any other way to learn French but I am hoping to listen to some podcasts and try watching some YouTube videos this upcoming week.

       

 

This week to show you my progress, I have recorded and edited some videos of me practicing on Duolingo. Here is the link for the TikTok I made (I realize that the computer screen is very small and hard to see but I was able to Zoom in on my laptop on the TikTok website to see the screen better). If you don’t know how Duolingo works I will explain it a bit here. You start each day with 5 hearts (they are your lives). Every time you make a mistake, you lose a heart. If you lose all 5 hearts, you can no longer play Duolingo that day and you will have to wait until the next day when you get 5 more hearts.

Overall, I feel as though I am starting to get the hang of some of the rules in the French language but I have realized that it is going to take a lot of consistent practice for them to stick in my brain. I am going to keep practicing every day and hopefully once I start to introduce other methods of learning (like the ones I mentioned above), I will start to see more success. So far my progress has been…
