Hi fellow bloggers!

This past week I have been looking at possible softwares to learn Spanish. I gathered some information from a website that dives into 10 possible softwares, listing their pros and cons and helping me pick the best possible option.

I was surprised to see just how many software options there were. All softwares vary from $0-$350 and vary difficulty levels. Also, some were books that you can purchase and study off of that. After reading about all of the possible options, I decided to go with the software that is most familiar and accessible for me: Duolingo.

Like I previously said, over Christmas break, I downloaded Duolingo on my phone and started learning Spanish for a few days. I loved the App and found that it was very simple yet very effective. It made me write, pronounce, and listen to Spanish and really made me push myself to learn. Therefore, I believe if I start taking this seriously, I might really benefit from this App and achieve my goal of learning the basics of the Spanish language. The only thing I remember I found annoying was that when you run out of hearts AKA “lives”, you have to wait a certain amount of time before being able to keep practicing. I found this extremely limiting and frustrating. I could pay to have a limitless amount of “lives” but I just find it very frustrating.

During this next week, I will practice everyday on Duolingo. Next week, I will update you on my experience with Duolingo. Will I have a positive or a negative experience?

Come back next week to find out!

See you then,
