My Language Learning Journey

University Japanese Courses

I took a few Japanese courses in university during my studies.


While it was fun, each lesson lasting for around 2 hours was a little too long for me.


Just too many new concepts to master and too many new words to remember.


Have you also experienced similar scenario before?


After these years without putting Japanese into practice, I have almost forgotten everything…


Duolingo

After graduation from University, I tried Duolingo to learn Spanish and German.


I immediately fell in love with its gamified and interactive design!


Moreover, it’s bite-size module allows me to learn even I only have 10 minutes of free time.


I particularly like Duolingo for reminding me which modules I should review.


That makes my learning sticks.


You are also highly recommended to try Duolingo with your friends.


It would make your language learning journey much more motivated.
