600 days 🇪🇸. I haven’t been doing as many lessons recently but still making slow progress. I’m a long way off of being fluent though and I’m not sure that is achievable with Duolingo alone.

I'm at 1218 days* with Duolingo for Korean, and no, I'm not sure only using Duolingo will be enough.

My husband and I watch TV in Korean to help with learning, and it's taught me multiple words Duolingo hasn't yet.

I learned English in school as a kid, but it clicked by watching TV all er when I turned 12, so I know TV totally works. Then I started thinking in English, and that's how I think it really stuck.

(*I go through each lesson until I feel comfortable with the words it's teaching, and only do 1 lesson per day, so not that intently though I have a long streak)

Well done on 1218 days!!

My father was from Spain so I knew a lot of words to start with but unfortunately never learned much more as child since English was spoken at home. I think more exposure to the language like you saw with watching TV is probably a good thing. I’ve found Duolingo good to get a quick understanding of many words and the basics though.
