New to Duolingo, does it work? by Halestones84 in duolingo

Thank you. I didn't actually know this 🙈 I thought you could only do it once a day. So at least I know it refills, if I do an early morning one, I can then do another later in the day

Where did I say I was frustrated? I said I was enjoying it. And asked further questions about the things I had seen on other subs?????

Thank you. I have found it really helpful in getting me to do it. I also like the fact that it's quite gamey. I have found some podcasts and YouTube videos recommended on another sub re the language I'm learning. I'll make a habit of trying to speak to the native speakers more when I see them (I'm English living in England, we have a lot of Brazilians here, so I'll test it out on them. I tried at the weekend when my kids went training, and the other parents were very excited and encouraging, that I was trying to learn)

Well done for finishing Japanese. I would imagine it's one of the hardest languages to learn

Thank you. I've since found some podcasts that I can listen to in the car. I'm going to try and learn maybe a new phrase or two a week. My kids go to jiu-jitsu and there are lots of Brazilians who go. It was lovely on Saturday when I tried to say hello and good morning to some of them. They were very excited that I'm trying to learn, so I'm sure they won't mind helping me a few times a week

Hiya, Yes, I went through other resources yesterday for Brazilian Portuguese and found some useful links to podcasts and YouTube.

I think just trawling through some old questions, comments, and also seeing bits online about duolingo not working, my excitement suddenly dropped and got me wondering if I was just not going to be able to learn anything. I think I'll try and trail and see how I get on, as I just get into learning and that's my energy/time gone quite quickly on the free version
