One Year Update: How Much You Really Learn with Duolingo

Written By Matt Suozzo

Episode 6

I take an online German Placement Test to see how much I have learned after one year using the Duolingo App as to total beginner. No prior German experience before using Duolingo.

Top Tips

  • Expand your vocabulary reading basic level books in the native language you are studying

  • Understand how the words should sound by watching native language TV and Movies

  • Get a good English-German dictionary and German Grammar Book

  • Speak or text with native German speakers

  • Persistence pays off, even if it feels like you aren't progressing
