Placement Test Results After 34 Hours

According to Transparent Languages, I improved a bit.

According to LingQ, my performance is about the same.

My results from Atlas Language School were pretty decent.

My listening results were better than deserved. (I guessed a lot.)

I barely understood anything!

34 Hours

I reached 34 hours on Duolingo in Brazilian Portuguese. I feel like I will be at least an A1 in the placement test. Did this feel like one semester's worth of work? It definitely felt like I learned a lot during the 34 hours of studying.

Soon I will be taking and posting placement tests, so if you're interested in the results of 34 hours on Duolingo, stay tuned!

33 Hours

Learned lots of verbs and finally reached medical! Only one hour left. Wow!

32 Hours

Almost to the finish line!

31 hours

31 hours and at this point I'm just forging ahead. I'm not worried about strengthening since I've been doing a lot of it this month. I'd like to get as many new words and concepts as possible before I take the final placement test.

30 Hours!!

Finally hit 30 hours. 

According to Duolingo's test I'm able to test out of 13 skills. This is possibly comparable to a student who has taken one semester. I will have to find one and ask, I suppose.

29 Hours

Finally made it past present perfect!

27 Hours

One step forward, several steps back. On the bright side, I feel the vocabulary is sinking in.

26 Hours

Almost gol again. I might aim for a second hour today to see if I can get ahead.

25 Hours

Finally made it to 25 hours.

21 hours! Wow

Still strengthening! 

20 hours

Strengthened to here. As you can see I still have a bit more strengthening to do if I just want to strengthen everything before moving on. I have a feeling I won't finish the tree before 34 hours is up.

19 hours

Strengthened some things.

18 hours

Learned a new section and strengthened some skills.

16 hours

Today, I did fifty minutes to make my hour numbers even again, because I was getting confused. I don't want to do extra math, so back to even hours!

Tomorrow will be the halfway point, so I will take another placement test tomorrow and we'll see how much progress has been made! :D

15 hours, 10 minutes

Finally caught up from my break. Strengthened everything and almost finished adjectives 2.

On a side note, I'm happy to see so many people are signing up for the challenge! 

14 hours, 10 minutes

Did a 60 minute marathon to catch up and strengthened to here. 

13 hours, 10 minutes

13 hours. Woo!

Plus 40 minutes

This is starting to feel like a chore and homework, which is making me feel a little resistant, but I must bully through. For science! And Portuguese! 

Vamos la!

12 hours, 10 minutes

I got through my whole hour today. I didn't finish strengthening, but that's okay. Duolingo has a new feature called Duolingo Stories which distracted me a bit. It's my dream language learning tool! Something I've been thinking about for a very long time and they managed to put it into action. Go Duolingo!
