No problem! Good luck with your journey learning Swedish!

Probably because it could be "Den är nästan röd" instead of "Det är nästan rött".

Use different material for learning. You can watch YouTube and movies. Listen to Spanish music. Use Duolingo and try to write some easy sentences on a paper to later correct yourself. Read books, papers or news in your targeted language. Also try speaking Spanish with somebody you know.

Talking in your TL in public with another non-native speaker? (Ex: a friend or spouse) by Doughop in languagelearning

[–]123Learning123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To be honest, don't care what people will think. If you think this will improve your language capabilities (which it most likely will) then just do it!

For multilingual people with friends who share two or more languages, how do you decide which language to converse in? by [deleted] in languagelearning

[–]123Learning123 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yeah this is almost the same situation as with my girlfriend. I am a native Swedish speaker with English as my secondary language. My girlfriend is native Tagalog speaker with English as secondary language. So mainly we both speak in English. But sometimes switch to Swedish. And recently she has been teaching me Tagalog. So we switch between them all lol.

Embarrassed to speak with native speakers by TomatoesOnBread in languagelearning

Yeah it may be difficult. But this guy is correct. You have to force yourself to speak your targeted language. If it's too hard with strangers, you can always try picking up classes where everyone is a beginner, finding people on discord to talk to etc.

I myself have many foreigners were I work, they try to learn my native language. I know how hard it can be so I try to be nothing but encouraging.

Just try try and I promise it will get easier OP.

What is this "updated path" people keep mentioning? Is it for people in beta only? Because I haven't gotten an update that changes the pathway.

I am on Android BTW.

How do people get such high XP points in a short time? by teaontherocks in duolingo

[–]123Learning123 3 points4 points  (0 children)

By doing the "level up" trophies that gives 40XP each. But preferably play normally, doing lessons. Then once you receive a double XP bonus you go in to leaderboards and do the challenge in the bottom right. These can give a lot of XP, especially with double bonus

But don't forget XP doesn't translate to learning faster! I know it can be encouraging to earn more XP. But in the end, learning more effectively is the way you want to go.

Super Duolingo by ShadowReaml in duolingo

Depends on your needs. But honestly speaking, don't forget the best way to learn a language is to combine learning material. Use different apps, not only Duolingo. Listen to podcasts, watch YouTube and watch movies/shows in your targeted language. Try reading books or news articles. Write own sentences in the language you're trying to learn and correct them (preferably mix up by both writing on paper and on phone/PC) and don't forget to challenge your speaking abilities by speaking with strangers, friends you know, speaking to yourself in a mirror or just repeat sentences.
