I was spending 5-10 minutes per day learning Spanish using Duolingo.

In hindsight, I never realised how much this was stagnating and boring my language learning journey. I just found that I was constantly demotivated and lacking enthusiasm about the language and just going through the motions.

Since I've started using other platforms and conversing with teachers online and speaking with friends and watching Spanish on Netflix, it's re invigorated my passion for the language and I've noticed that I'm more enthusiastic and confident with learning the language more naturally.

Don't get me wrong if Duolingo works well for you, that's awesome. However for me I found it. It was stagnating my journey too much and almost made me quit learning Spanish.
