I'm a bit lost right now as the reordering of the lessons moved some words I didn't know yet to the earlier lessons. So, have the vocabulary and/or the tips from the lessons been compiled (from the new update) as in the webs below? Here are some answers to common questions that will give you more insight into German New Year's customs and what to expect during the festivities. 1. Do Germans Make New Year's Resolutions? Yes, many Germans make New Year's resolutions, just like in other countries. Common resolutions include getting fit, spending more time with family, or I recommend finding a pre-built German deck on the Anki database and downloading it. I would do Anki every single day with the Duolingo Course. As of April 2023, Duolingo’s German course has 187 stories and Match Madness, but doesn’t currently take advantage of Duolingo Max’s AI features. Duolingo’s German stories are designed to improve your reading, listening and speaking. This is something which is cross-linguistically observed. For example, in German and in Polish, to say “I like ____ ” you would say ____ gefällt mir and Podoba mi się ____ respectively.

Many people repeat Duolingos claim that Duolingo can bring learners to A2-B1 in their language. Duolingo made this claim around the time they updated Spanish and French to 5 unit CEFR courses and this claim only applies to CEFR aligned courses. I’ve completed 97% of the Spanish course. As others said duolingo is never going to give you that ability so say whatever you think of instantly that comes with being actually fluent in any language, but you will understand a lot! but if you were to learn a language with duolingo, german is one of the best languages to use duolingo with Duolingo published some of their own research which showed that their French and Spanish courses variously brought learners to B1/B2. There's a large amount of well-structured content on there, but I think the way to look at it is that there's a "self-regulated" element that will affect your personal results massively. /r/German is a community focused on discussion related to learning the German language. It is also a place to discuss the language at large. New visitors, please read the FAQ: /r/German/wiki/faq I love learning languages and I will definitely continue duolingo (especially when they add that learning music feature to android), but it will be like an hour once a week instead of these 2 minute bursts at 11.50pm. It's been fun though. HAPPY NEW YEAR TO EVERYBODY (I was learning German btw) Duolingo is absolutely not even close to enough for German university, which usually requires a C1 level of German understanding. But the good news is you have 4 years and plenty of resources at your disposal via Internet and other apps, and also formal courses if you choose to go that route (which is not necessary, but some people find that the structure is helpful). There are a lot of good answers here, but as someone who has been learning German in Duolingo since 2015, I want to give my two cents too. No, you won't learn German if you only use Duolingo. Many of the sentences are ridiculous and you are forced to repeat them over and over again. That being said I did do 4 years of German in school over 10 years ago. Duolingo is just irritating, I'd rather use textbook drills than see that owl ever again. Ed Swicks books are good for this. I think duolingo can be useful when starting a language from absolutely nothing though. and Nicos weg is a great show, I still rewatch it sometimes If it helps, no one I know can speak German, so I have no irl to speak it with. I only mainly use German with Duolingo and pronouncing the words I know if anyone in my family asks me about a German word they see, or if I point out that a word is German to them. Is this normal for a relatively new German learner? can get you in german speaking areas, especially with people 30 and younger. That's not to say you should abandon German all together! But in a pinch, it's definitely worth a shot. Secondly, most courses that teach Swiss-German do so from High-German. That can be unnerving at first, but might not be as big a deal as you would think.
