How Interactive I Wish Duolingo was learning Spanish
I've been wanting to learn Spanish since high school. The problem with Duolingo is while repetitiveness is key in learning a language, I don't find the lessons to be practical. I finished 24 sections, over 1,600 questions before going to Puerto Rico and I couldn't speak basic Spanish still.
​
That's why I created my own interactive lesson for ordering at a restaurant. I created the menu based off the most common items found in 10 different Mexican restaurants serving tacos. My personalized Duolingo lesson provides a chance for a realistic conversation and 6,250,000 different conversations within 1 prompt.
