Using an app to learn languages? Write a review for a chance to win up to 50$ Over 100$ cash plus other prizes

Dear friends, we can’t keep meeting like this. It’s not you, you’ve been perfect. I think it’s time we stay home, get some reading done, reassess our plan, consider what led us to this point. We might have to ride this out for a month or a year, or whatever it takes. Maybe you’re going home. Maybe you’ve already gone home. Anyways, it’s been a lot of fun for me. I feel like I’ve started something which will be reborn again and again like a phoenix. -hope to meet again, much love and best wishes, Tom

When you were a baby, you probably learned to talk from your parents so chances are, you speak a lot like them. If you learned a different language from the one you spoke as a child, or if you spoke 2 or more languages as a child, you had to make your tongue move differently from the way it naturally wants to move.

How does phonology affect me?

Is this you? I understand English but I can’t speak it.
or maybe My friends and I always speak Chinese and I don’t practice English
or perhaps My presentation is good but I’m nervous to speak
There’s a club for you –> English Speak Up! Wednesdays from 8:30 - 10:00 pm
We learn conversation, presentation skills, and English for 2020

Balance your English as a language learner. Learn and practice the important parts like talking to people.
This club is designed for internationals who wish to improve their communication skills in English.The content is for those involved in academic programs in English but fluency is not requiered. In fact, we create fluency with creative engaging activities that help us think before we speak and visa-versa.

The speaking club seeks to build friendships by enabling participants to express themselved freely and to recognize their strengths and needs through low fidelity chat. In language learning, we seek to build fluency and confidence and to use English more effetively so that we can achieve our goals. It also seeks to develop the participants skills in independent learning outside of the classroom.

Duolingo is a free app (with minimal ads) that encodes language items with heavy focus on chunking. This is useful for some tricky nuances of languages like French word-final irregularities. Flashcards are thrown out in favor of multiple guess. Facile memory encoding is blended with recall which gamifies the entire experience. n/ Spaced Repitition Systems record your mistakes on a lesson but questions are typically repeated so frequently that multiple n/ errors are rare. Grammar is taught implicitly as questions alternate between L1-L2 pairs, ear training, sentence translation and voice recognition.

The program asks two or three lessons a day (5 minutes) minimum to keep up a streak and receive seratonin candy. Other gamified elements include, power-ups, different kinds of in-game currancies, badges, unlockables, gambles, and bonus skills as well as a high score screen. In addition to the hundreds of 2-minute lessons, Duolingo also features short stories, leagues, friends and a large group of active users.

Promoted claims that 34 hours of Duolingo are equal to a semester of university language courses comes from a study by with volunteers language learners and funded by Duolingo. Levels are broken down into lexical and situational units of 5 lessons.

Spaced repitition makes for a slow, thourough gain.

Reddit posters- GalaxySea said, “Duolingo… made language learning more enjoyable and fun. The courses that have been revised a few times are really good (such as German and Norwegian) but other courses such as Japanese are just bad. hopefulprotolinguist said, “It’s good for vocab, and for basic sentence practice, but not for grammar.” IvanPetrovich1898 agreed and said, “Duolingo gets very tedious an repetitive after a pretty short period of time.” https://www.reddit.com/r/languagelearning/comments/7trjqq/is_duolingo_effective/
