Part 1/7:

Can I Speak Spanish After 2,000 Days on Duolingo?

After dedicating over 2,000 days to learning Spanish on Duolingo, the short answer is yes: one can communicate in Spanish, albeit with some limitations. I’d like to share my journey, challenges, and observations based on my experience and progress over the years.

My Language Learning Journey

My name is Evan Ediger, and this is a two-part series focusing on my experiences with Duolingo. The first 1,000 days of my language learning were spent studying German. During that time, I utilized various resources such as reading German books, watching shows, and listening to music. For the past 2,000 days, I've engaged exclusively with Duolingo for my Spanish studies, aiming to challenge the common skepticism about the app’s effectiveness.
