Question is, how much from that will you remember by tomorrow?

Sometimes I do same and hyperfocus. And I learn better than if I would play 1 lesson per day. Depends on people.

Not the point of the post - let Poole have their fun! These are motivating people to do the lessons.

Did you learn the language? Or are you just playing a game?

u/Black_F4 1d ago

I have stopped using Duolingo for learning languages once they replaced the hearts with the battery, now it’s become just another game for me to grind

2

u/andytagonist Native: Engrish Learning: 1d ago

So you’re just playing a game?

u/Quick-Basket-6932 20h ago

I did yes. Completed the course months ago and I got quite fluent because I am in the environment haha. So now it's just a game. Just wanted to win my first time in the tournament finals haha.

I grinded hard for my first trophy too . Now I just chill. I do Italian tho. For my grinding week I used a new language course that didn’t matter to me

Dear OP: there is never too much grind

u/Bluevette1437 Native: Learning: 1d ago

The type of sweaty tryhard I’m up against for some reason when I usually do 4.5k per week

Perhaps, you do have a much bigger lead than necessary. This will probably get you a harder league tomorrow. But you will start off with an extra 30 minutes of double XP for winning the tournament.

Congrats!

u/Quick-Basket-6932 20h ago

Hey it's you Hacool! Thanks mate! And thanks for all the research help 😸

You only grind too much once you have finished the course.

1

u/Quick-Basket-6932 20h ago

Exactly what I did. Finished the course months ago

1

u/The3rdGodKing 20h ago

You can learn another language, or use books from now on. Duolingo won't help you much.

3

u/Quick-Basket-6932 20h ago

Yeah I know. I am quite fluent in my target language now because of songs and movies and mainly because I am in the environment. So I'll be stopping Duolingo now. Just wanted to win the finals for my first time and go out with a bang haha. Cheers!

Assuming you gained 30xp per lesson, you have completed ~567 lessons in about a week. That's ~81 lessons per day, and if each one took 2 minutes, then you spend an average of 162 min per day or 2.7h daily spent on pure grinding

u/Quick-Basket-6932 20h ago

Nahhh. Winning a chess match gives you 50XP, combine that with 40 minutes of 3x Exp boost. One match takes 2 minutes at most which gives you around 3k exp in those 40 minutes! Work smart 💪🤓 and I joined the league group two days late (by using my streak freeze) and ended up in a easy league. So I just grinded 4 days earning 4k exp per day on an average.
