Re: Duolingo?

AYRT

That's very true! I'm definitely more of a hands-on, learn-by-doing type so I've found that sort of immersive experience of the language working in context (rather than e.g. learning vocab lists by rote, like we used to in high school) works much better for me. I don't know whether it taps into something instinctive -- I'm bilingual from birth and constantly switch from one to the other in daily life so I don't know whether that has something to do with it -- or just taps into my specific manner of learning.

That's not to say there's no value to the by-rote stuff for me (and certainly not for those who learn more effectively that way!), just that it tends to be more supplementary/for reference rather than the primary means. So when it comes to something like Duolingo, I find I'm picking up on the grammatical structures and patterns despite having to take a guess sometimes at the actual vocab, and that would be the thing I'd have trouble remembering via more linear or traditional methods.

Definitely agree with the advice regarding doing/reading/watching random things in your chosen language! Quite apart from grammar and vocab, it helps enormously with the actual sound and rhythms of the language.
