Tausend Tage

On the first of January 2019, I started to learn German using the Duolingo app. At first, I wasn't too hung up about missing a day but at some point the concept of maintaining a streak bit me, and bit me hard! Today, marked my thousandth consecutive day of using the app.

However, I feel like I've run my course with it, at least for now. I do like the way it works, almost entirely by exposure and repetition, but there is very little by way of explanation, particularly around the grammar. However, I'm getting to the point where I need a bit more of that.

So, today was my thousandth and last day on the app. Tomorrow I have a German lesson with a teacher from Deutsch Centre International! Plus, I'm going to give the Babbel app a whirl.

In other news, I had late afternoon drinks with Dom, which was lovely. In fact, it was on the train to Chorley that I completed my final day on Duolingo. And in the evening, the Minx and I went to The Everyman to see Spider-Man film which was absolutely amazing! (Appropriately enough.)
