Thank you for the feedback on Babel Indonesian, redflag. I was thinking of signing up to Babel just to have access to its Indonesian course, because there's no plan for doing it at Duolingo yet. Other than that, I'd definitely not go for Babel for what I can already finda at Duolingo.

Hi Expugnator, the Indonesian course is basically just vocab flashcards type thing (as
opposed to the Babbel French which has a huge amount of varied content) but they say it's 2000 words I think so that's a decent amount. Given the relative simplicity of Indonesian grammar I feel like focusing solely on vocab at the start might be more useful than for other languages. Indonesian would work quite well on Duolingo I think if someone wanted to do it. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

So anyway 6 days after I said I wanted to finish the Duolingo French tree by Easter ... I finished the Duolingo French
tree. Ha, I should set all my deadlines with that much leeway, feels good.

Thanks s.mann. I did do a few things that sped it up a bit
- turned off the listening/speaking exercises. Don't think they're Duo's strengths and they were starting to irritate me - tested out of a few of the vocabulary based skills. Maybe a cheat but the time I saved was more than made up for by having to do a crash course in intermediate grammar since I've never actually studied the past subjunctive and things like that. - I think the iPhone app version is a bit easier because even though they still have the hearts system they also give you a lot where you just have to make the sentence from a bunch of words, which is easier than doing it cold off the top of your head. I'm going to do some timed practice each day for a bit now to go over some of the earlier stuff. Timed practice is 10 lingots but well worth it. And I've started the Danish tree ... ;-) 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||
