How to use an app to learn a new language
Had a 200+ day Duolingo streak. Still couldn't hold a conversation without panicking. Deleted the app, booked a flight to France. Best decision I ever made. Real conversations > gamified vocab drills every time.
When I landed in Belgium I knew how to say "le pomme est rouge"
Very, very helpful in a country where red apples are not often consumed.
