    you hit the nail on the head with the Skyrim thing. The exposure you get from playing a game or watching a show in your target language can do wonders and a game like Skyrim where you can wander round and NPCs will just talk at you as you go by is perfect

      I actually loved it. I jumped in a little too deep because I couldn’t do anything without constantly pausing to translate, but it probably would have paid off eventually.

    Love your videos man! You're sporadic view counts are so weird to me. I feel like your video quality warrants way more than some of them get. Either way, I'll keep watching. Keep it up!

    It might just be me but I've been working on learning Japanese from Duolingo for the last few months and its gotten to the point where I understand more than ever could. To the tune of I can see where localizers have changed things in subbed anime. My end goal is to not need subs in the first place.

      @@VaultLore for me too. Firstly English and now Spanish. From my point of view it is just a new viral trend to hate duolingo ;) And every smart person can justify it and make good arguments against it. It is just an app. You can always learn the basics and then improve in other ways.Besides in Poland it is a lot cheaper than Netflix if you buy it for a year. What's more the price for a year is equal about two regular language lessons. Clearly you won't be able to learn more in two lessons than at whole year. Even if you are just "streak keeper" and do one lesson a day. Additionally when I bought subscription I've started to engage more and I see a lot of progress every week. It is just a tool.You can use it in wise way if you are willing to.

      @@VaultLore The main thing is, I'm actually trying to learn by doing more than the 15-20mins a day the owl demands or what I've seen others do, a 2nd grade level duo-math lesson just to keep a streak going. Something that takes maybe 20 seconds to do. Completely defeating the purpose of attempting to learn.

      For sure. I was probably doing an hour a day, it just felt like at some point there were better resources to spend an hour on.

    I work as a programmer for a marketing supporting software company. And one time we had a training about gamification.. i was angry and could not understand how this is not banned. Its literall brainwashing or at least manipulation of the consumer

    I have a streak of over 1000 days on Duolingo 😅, but to be honest I don't really expect to learn the language with it.
    (I'm doing Japanese and Norwegian - with the occasional visit to English -, and while I will never be able to understand them fluently, if I ever got kidnapped and dropped in one of those countries I would be able to ask for help and/or food at least lmao)
    I do a couple of lessons every day before going to sleep, so it became sort of an habit - it's even relaxing sort of..
    (Now I kinda want to try Skyrim in Norwegian, tho - if only it existed ofc)

    Duolingo always seems strange to me.
    If your goal is to retain words, why not just read a book that already is chuck full of them?
    Duolingo is designed to be comfortable, not too challenging and rewarding.
    Language learning, isn't all 3 of those at times. You have to go out of your comfort zone to learn new things, it isn't easy to learn a language.
    And there isn't really a way to determine success, even in english I come across words I don't recognize. Like the word interlocutor is one I learned not too long ago.
