Learning a Former Soviet Union (FSU) Language on Duolingo
« on: July 22, 2025, 03:51:13 AM »
So for the past few years I have been learning Russian on the Duolingo App. For me it's not been a bad program to learn on as I can do so in my spare time. Since I met a Ukrainian girl almost a couple of years ago now my time on Duolingo has slipped a lot but before that I was making some progress. I'm just started to use it a little bit of recent and noticed a few changes.

Firstly I think they might have dialled down the computer game aspect of it which was increasing and starting to be annoying. It's back more towards how it was I think, more focus on learning the language.


The main thing I noticed is that Duolingo now gives you a score as to roughly where your level of language is in the scheme of things, essentially set against the A1, A2, B1, B2, etc benchmarks. Here is how the Duolingo score relates to these benchmarks:

My Russian score is currently at 22. So a fair bit more work needed to improve my Russian to get to a more useable conversational level I think.

Before this new feature was introduced I didn't have that much idea where I sat with it all apart from knowing about 1,000 Russian words (remembering all 1,000 Russian words may be a problem for me though lol). I am determined though to learn Russian better and will probably get some tutoring online later from a website that has been suggested to me.

Anyway, just wanted to update any interested in learning a FSU language what recent developments in Duolingo are.
