I just signed up to track my duolingo practice, but I'm curious what happens once I complete duolingo? Is there a way to end the tracking once it's over? At some point duolingo would get substituted for real-life immersion.
- gargarplex 10y agoOnce you complete Duolingo, treat yourself to a vacation in the country where the language is spoken :D I did this and had a wonderful time! From there, slowly immerse yourself in the culture.. for example, I am a part of some Swedish Facebook groups for developers, have Swedish-speaking pals both irl and online, etc. I was even offered a job to move to Sweden to lead a software dev organization but I have my own projects to focus on
- chillacy 10y agoI can't wait to try that! The software jobs aren't great where I'd go, but I have enough savings for 3-6 months of studying abroad. It would be a great thing to try in between jobs.
- TheCowboy 10y agoYou can keep practicing to maintain your skills, or you lose them. Duolingo has been nice for quick maintenance study sessions that I would otherwise never bother doing. And the tracking remains useful because there are areas where I start forgetting.
- chillacy 10y agoI think the concept of the Forgetting Curve in language means that some knowledge you'll keep for years and years. For instance Duolingo thinks I'm completely rusty in one of my languages but I converse a few times a week so I've maintained it.
- dreeves 10y agoIn case you meant this as a Beeminder question (it's a good one!) the answer is, yes, you can end a goal any time with one-week notice, or schedule it to end at a pre-specified date.
