Using\u00a0spaced repetition<\/a>, Duolingo<\/a> presents students with material in an organized manner designed to maximize learning while minimizing time and effort.\u00a0But there’s just one problem with Duolingo: Eventually, you’ll complete the course you’re working on, and what then?<\/p>\n

In this guide I’ll explain what to do after Duolingo, so that you can keep your language study on a roll and use what you’ve learned so far going forward.<\/p>\n

1. Keep using Duolingo anyway<\/h2>\n

Even if you’ve finished a Duolingo course, Duolingo can still help you continue learning. There are two ways you can make this happen.<\/p>\n

One way is to go back and redo all the lessons until you earn perfect scores in all areas.<\/strong> Your scores will fade over time, so getting them to all be perfect at the same time will require a lot of time and effort.<\/p>\n

Another way to keep using Duolingo to study your target language is to use the “practice” feature<\/strong> on the right-hand side of the page. This feature presents you with familiar Duolingo questions in order to strengthen key words and skills, so it’s a good way to reinforce what Duolingo taught you and to prevent backsliding.<\/p>\n

2. Dive into authentic media<\/h2>\n

Authentic media is one of the best ways to put what you’ve learned from Duolingo into context.<\/p>\n

If you want to use your target language in real life, you’ll need to be able to understand much more than one sentence at a time.<\/p>\n

You’ll also need to understand your language as it’s actually spoken. Authentic media can help you acquire the necessary skills for this. But don’t worry, you don’t have to dive in with no help.<\/p>\n

FluentU<\/strong> takes authentic videos\u2014like music videos, movie trailers, news and inspiring talks\u2014and turns them into personalized language learning lessons.<\/p>\r\n
