Found a toy for myself. Duolingo – French language. Even managed to reach the first place in the bronze league ranking. Mixed feelings about it. Overall, the tasks are quite simple for 27 units. But the principle is interesting – the more mistakes you make, the more you pay. However, it’s frustrating when most mistakes come from not paying attention. Many tests are designed in such a way that the only way to get them wrong is to completely misunderstand the task. There’s a lot of repetition of the same words and grammatical structures, which makes the test feel childish. On the other hand, if it were more difficult, I’d quickly run out of the money I don’t mind spending on this, as I would definitely make more mistakes. But, I must say, the overall mechanism works – you won’t get far without understanding.
