I've gotten into Duolingo speedrunning, and I'm pretty good at it, and I want to compete against others. Are there any Duolingo speedrunning communities or Discord servers around?

I’m very interested in your retention! Are you able to actually learn stuff?

[-] mdwalters@pawb.social 1 points 10 months ago

I don't really get the question, do you mean like how do I memorize the words in a Duolingo lesson?

[-] retrieval4558@mander.xyz 5 points 10 months ago

No like do you maintain any proficiency in the languages you speedrun

[-] mdwalters@pawb.social 2 points 10 months ago

Yes, I sometimes use (virtual) flash cards to help me remember the words in the languages I do. I do a few flash cards, and add a few words to the deck after I do a lesson.

But do you actually gain any ability to read and write the language outside of duolingo

Yes. I do speedrunning mostly just for fun, and I do most of my Duolingo lessons normally.
