    Recently started Busuu for Russian

    The quality is far better than that of Duolingo and I’ve been enjoying it

      To commit to my language learning I paid for a full year of premium Duolingo. I’m on my 140th day I think and I’m kind of regretting my choice.

      So now I’m just gonna finish the full year and then consider switching to Busuu. I tried in it the past and I have to agree that the courses have more study material than those of Duo’s.

      To compensate I’m testing investing more time per day to advance a little faster. I was thinking of posting a review once I finish the year.

    Duolingo just updated their Chinese lessons. Which means there are a bunch of words in earlier sections I don’t know and my progress got a bit messed up. It’s not the end of the world, but I’m seriously considering deleting my account’s progress in their Chinese course so that I can go through the whole thing again.

        Yeah I just hit diamond and I suddenly went from being really excited to look at the leaderboard to absolutely dreading it. Before diamond I was consistently in the top 3-5 every week, now I’m like grinding lessons just to not drop down. It’s good though because it does make me want to learn more.
