  • How to Think in Another Language

    The truth is that learning to think in a language requires a lot of practice—and a lot of patience—but it’s never too soon to start trying! This week, I describe what I like to do when I’m learning a new language, starting from when I only know a few words, so intermediate learners may want to skip the first steps. You may find other techniques that you like, too!

    Dear Duolingo: How can I learn to think in a new language? By Cindy Blanco

    I’ve always thought what are the most effective methods of learning a language. Eventually you would want to be so fluent that you are thinking in that language. There have been times where I was thinking about it so much that I was dreaming in an another language and communicating my ideas effectively in that dream!

    Take a look at that blog post above!

    DuoLingo Diamond Tournament Badge

    After all these years, I finally won the DuoLingo Diamond Tournament. I managed to place in the top 10 of the tournament for the past three weeks.

    Surprisingly, it’s highly competitive. I wouldn’t suggest doing this unless you really enjoy learning languages and putting in the time to work at it. It can be a real drain if you’re not engaged with it.

    With that said, I’m thankful to have accomplished something significant in my learning journey. Now it’s onto the next week of learning in DuoLingo.

  • How and When to Use the Preterite Tense

    Here’s a handy tip from the DuoLingo blog for learning how to use the preterite tense in Spanish.

    The preterite tense is one way of expressing the past tense in Spanish, and it’s often the first kind of past tense that learners study! Knowing the preterite tense means you’ll be able to talk about what happened this morning, yesterday, last week, or even last decade. Here’s a beginner’s guide to forming and using the preterite tense in Spanish.
