I love to know about differnt culture,tradition, language andI love listening music.So I listen to music from singers all around the world.When I heard the hit Taki Taki,Despacito,Una lady como tu, Baila conmigo and some others song I literally loved their vibes then I decided to learn spanish as I came to know that this one is one of the biggest languages in the world.
But now the question is that how I can I learn spanish??As in my city,there is no spanish learning Institute.Then I started searching for it in online.First I learnt some words from youtube. There were lots of websites and some even charged money in dollars.But I was not able to spend any money.Then I came to know about Duolingo.I downloaded the app.Then filled their forms.But somehow as I did not know about it that much,then I did not complete the whole form.Then one day I saw a post of one of my friends on Facebook. I talked with my frined and came to know more.
The next day after some researches, finally I filled thier form.
Hola,Buenos dias,Mucho gusto,Adios,Gracias these were the words that I got to know first. I kept my journey with both youtube and Duolingo.After some days,I continued my journey more with Duolingo. Cause each week there is a league where we can get the chance to be promoted to the next league. Also we can earn XP. That can help us to top the whole week chart.As a friend of mine earnt almost 336500xp in a year,and was one of the two percent spanish learners in Duo,my target was the same.So I stopped watching any tutorial youtube video in spanish and my favourite show Extra.I focused more and more in Duo.I always ranked in top 3 in each leaugue.
There were so many facilities. I could work on my grammar.I could learn nee words. Also I got the chance to improve my both reading, writting,speaking sides. So it was really life changing for me ro learn spanish or espanol.
Things were so helpful for me.But then my board exams arrived. So I became busy with my studies.One day passed,the another day I got an email from Duolingo saying Do you want to lose your streak??
So I decided to go for a round on duo again.Another day passed.
I was emailed again.Saying do you want to lose your streak?? This time I got literally mad.Like how could it say it??I was having my board exam and there’s this app.Oh God, how irritating that was!I cannot explain that.Then I did not give any attention to that.Bit thigs got so worse ehen they kept saying go for a streak lots of time a day.Then I lost my patience. I could not even touch my phone.It would give me panic.So I had to block the app and I uninstalled it.
Then after completing my board exams,I wantes to start my couse again.So I decided to learn more. Although I had uninstalled the app,I loved the app so much..So I then again started my course.
And till now I am learning it.Also as I used to be an active member of language club in my school, I also told them that for learning languages can be so helpful in online.
Now I still learn Spanish online.My couse in going on.Everyday I learn something nee.It actually make me feel both happy and satisfied.Now I am almost in an advance level.It has been a year.And I know spanish so good now I guess.
So, for me,it was such a great couse that I can keeo as long as I want to.Where there is no limit,no time management. So it is actually so helpful.
