This week's dump on cm.net.

I'm reaching the end of what I can do with Duolingo. It's great as a refresher, but for actual learning it doesn't work for my learning style at all.My mistakes are accumulating to the point where I get several sentences wrong every lesson and I don't understand why my answers are wrong. Because I don't understand, I forget how it's supposed to go when it comes up again. I have to copy the correct answer in a text file so I can just paste it in next time it comes up. For example, why don't I use an article with the sentence Yo quiero ser maestro de español (I want to be a Spanish teacher)? In the "Discuss" section (which is only helpful to me about a third of the time because alas, I am not a good book/text learner) three people asked about that specific one but nobody answered. I'm gonna keep going with the stories section for a while, at least.

I knew this going in, so it's not a surprise or disappointment, I just didn't expect it to happen so soon.

I onnly tried Duolingo once, for a new language, and decided very quickly it was useless for actually learning new things. Probably not for everyone, but definitely for me! So seeing you say something similar is oddly affirming? LOL.

Also, yay so much beauty. And ponytails. :D
