I know they sometimes get a bad rap (especially recently with the lay offs https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2024/01/10/duolingo-ai-layoffs/), but it’s still a nice app to use to get started with a language

That’s crazy. Can’t imagine to stick to a routine for 5 years consistently.
Very impressive indeed
I couldn’t imagine myself doing it either tbh, but I started learning on Duolingo as a personal challenge: to prove to myself that I can still learn something new every day and allay my irrational fear that I’m getting too old to improve at anything.
And it worked. That fear is gone now, but the streak goes on. Not letting it go cause I’m that stubborn.
Would you say you’re fluent in a language as a result of this?
I think so? But it’s not like I spent more than 5 minutes a day practicing in the past 3 years or so. My sessions certainly go down depending on how busy I get.
Also fun fact: I had to practice German during my wedding. Didn’t go well with the wife but now she gets it. Hehe
