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!

28 Hours

28 hours. Woo!

24 hours

Just more strengthening. Again! Well, I spent a little more time on each lesson today. I decided I wouldn't highlight the words and would guess instead if I didn't remember them. I feel like I got a bit more out of it that way. 

22 hours

More strengthening. And it looks like I won't actually finish the tree before 34 hours is up. Wow!

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.

Placement Test for 7/9/2017

I got the sames scores as last time. On both tests? That doesn't seem right. I guess I haven't made a lot of progress in the last 7 hours. Frustrating!

17 hours, halfway point!!!

Today, I did three new modules before I strengthened. I didn't get everything strengthened, but I felt like I wasn't progressing with the way I was doing things before.

I'll take a placement test some time tonight or tomorrow and we'll compare my level now with my level back at 10 hours! 

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. 

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!

Phrases

O menino sai daqui

Deixa eu ver

Plus 40 minutes - 6/23/2017

Clearly, I took a break. You can see the decay that resulted from the picture above. In 40 minutes, I was only able to strengthen a few things back to gold. I have some catching up to do!

Deixa eu ver.
