do you even need another language? 🥸
Fluent in Weird. picture this: a geezer sits across from his missus at an all-inclusive resort in Spain the waiter comes over - a native Spanish speaker, of course - and asks the couple for their order the bloke, much to the waiter's and his partner's surprise, responds to the waiter in what seems to be smooth, free-flowing espagnol his partner, shocked (and somewhat aroused), excitedly responds: “i didn’t know you could speak Spanish?!" the bloke can’t hide his pride 😏 he’s buzzing his plan...
why most Duolingo users fail 😔
Fluent in Weird. ever been to the top of a volcano? 🤔 last October, my girlfriend and I seriously considered doing it “when in Naples” and all that Vesuvius was literally standing right there made sense to go and scale it, right?...

the truth about free Duolingo... 😬
Fluent in Weird. true story: i spent years trying to get shredded with YouTube workouts and milk bottles filled with water. 🙈 thought i could skip the gym, skip the cost, and still get results. at one point, i even made a barbell by sliding the bottles onto either end of a broomstick stood there doing bicep curls like I was going to turn into the most unlikely Arnold Schwarzenegger 🤦 i kept telling myself: "you don't need a gym membership" "you don't need to pay for fitness" "this is totally...
lots of Duolingo... but STILL can't speak? 😭
Fluent in Weird. i think we all know what the number one problem is for most Duolingo users: they can’t speak. they spend months -sometimes years- bashing away at the app... but when it comes to actually speaking the language?... 💀 stage fright 🧠 total blank 👅 tongue tied whether it’s a holiday or a big move abroad, the moment comes - and they just FREEZE. they know the words. they’ve put in the time. they’ve racked up a crazy streak. but nothing comes out. 😔 so they start to panic... "have i...
I can't believe i'm saying this...😳
Fluent in Weird. for the longest time, i told myself the game didn’t matter. 🙅 i saw people obsessing over leagues, streaks, and XP badges - all while making zero real progress. they weren’t learning anything. just racking up hollow numbers and clinging to meaningless victories. earning without learning is like scrambling an egg with no heat you’re genuinely just wasting your time. so i always said: "dude, don’t care about the game. just focus on the language." 👍 but after 9 years of bashing...
Duolingo's BIGGEST trap... 😯
Fluent in Weird. I am absolutely EXHAUSTED. 12-hour night shifts. no breaks. crap sleep. hay fever kicking the sh*t out of me. 😩 but for some reason, despite all of that, i still dragged myself to the gym. not because i wanted to - but because i felt like i had to. and yeah, i managed to bash out a decent 90-minute session. got through everything. even set a new deadlift PR. 💪 but honestly? i didn’t feel any better for it. no satisfaction. no buzz. just more tired than when i started. 😩...
🔥 Duolingo's weird 'Streak Illusion'...
Fluent in Weird. when I tell people I've got a nine-year Duolingo streak, they often think I must be perfectly fluent in a gazillion languages my reply is usually: "I'm barely fluent in English, mate" yes yes, very funny of course, I'm just being modest I can speak perfectly good English get by in Italian have a basic convo in German interpret some Russian texts and I'm getting to a basic conversational level in French i'm nothing special hardly a polyglot but I can get the job done now to...
does Duolingo work? 🤔
Fluent in Weird. why did you start using Duolingo? 🤔 Seriously. What was the spark? A few weeks ago, I asked 50 of my most dedicated readers the same thing. And while the answers varied slightly, the heart of it was almost always the same: “I just love the idea of knowing another language.” 🗣️ For some, the goal was straight-up fluency. For others, just being able to understand what people are saying was enough. And a bunch just wanted to keep their brain active and acquire a brand new...
THIS leads to Duolingo burnout... 😩
Fluent in Weird. he was FUMING... 😤 it's always funny when my mate loses his sh*t but I must admit, on this occasion, even I felt his pain. basically, James gets his weekly meals from this company called HelloFresh you pick your meals online, they send you the ingredients and recipes in the post. easy peasy. he's been doing it for years and usually raves about them 👌 (even got me signed up a year or so ago. but they expected me to mash my own potatoes. so obviously I gave up) anyway, the...
