Speaking of daily slogs, at some point I will give up this continuous streak on #Duolingo (I’m “learning” #German). I’m currently at 447 days of streak, which sounds impressive, but I’ve burned up many streak repair “tokens” to maintain that (namely, when sick, or traveling, or whatever).
Really, this Duolingo streak thing feels like a death march. I know it’s supposed to keep me on task but, fuck, even school lets out for the summer. I’m burned out. Of all the things in my life I’m also burned out on, Duolingo is the easiest to drop.
I’m at a plateau, a wall (ein Mauer), and I feel like I’m not actually learning a goddamn thing. Ich bin studieren, aber Ich lerne kein Sprache. I’m not fluent at all and an app is not going to help that. I need a real class, not this, what I call “The German Game”.
Once I get to 500 days streak, I’m giving up the daily. #Duo can sik Lily on me to passive-aggressively nag at me all it wants, I can just disable notifications. I’m…tired.
Ich bin sehr müde. So, so müde. Und krank. Kann Ich schlafe, bitte?
