I just read the article about Duolingo and I totally agree. I have been utilizing Duolingo for well over two years now. I was actually able to understand 95% of what you wrote in French, which makes me very happy. However, I still am not comfortable to speak in French and do not often understand spoken French. I have t been able to master thinking in French. There is always a time lapse in trying to understand what was said and then I’ve already missed what comes next. At 70 years old, I attribute this to just being too old to get faster at comprehending what was said.

J'adore Duolingo. C'est extrêmement motivant et amusant. Mais tu as raison, Duolingo seul ne suffit pas pour apprendre une langue. Mais pour créer une base sur laquelle on peut construire, c'est suffisant.
