Maybe you should try drops but it might be too easy at this point. Could help you keep those words straight.

maybe i am ok with skjorte because i can hear t-skjorte in my head reminding me that shirt has two syllables and skirt has one.

i think i am better than most at this type of thing, memorizing the difference between two similar things, because i can come up with these mnemonic devices that make no sense to anyone else. the problem is there is no penalty for not getting it right because i check my answers by clicking the words. if i had to do it in writing with no cheating possible i'd probably learn very quickly. or if i was forced to properly learn the vowel pronunciation.

James Redd finished #1 in the Diamond League 9 times!

But it was an empty victory. My name jam is the Glossika app, hope it’s not just an infatuation.

To go diamond platinum, you have to do it 10 times!I may go for a top 3 diamond this week, just to get my name out there in the league

Basically there is but one trick to it.

Well two tricks, 1+1.

trick to winning the league?
my usual move is to wait to activate the 2x bonus until just before I do the "legendary" 40XP stages
― Bruce Stingbean (Karl Malone), Thursday, 9 June 2022 15:32 (one year ago) link
(why do i do this? because i want to learn spanish! haha)
Yes. That is one trick.

Reveal the second trick!
― Bruce Stingbean (Karl Malone), Thursday, 9 June 2022 15:37 (one year ago) link
Which for me has recently been replaced by doing the lighting round, which just recently seems to have started acknowledging the 2X.
― Double Elvis on the Dime (James Redd and the Blecchs), Thursday, 9 June 2022 15:37 (one year ago) link
The other trick is a multi-week strategy.
― Double Elvis on the Dime (James Redd and the Blecchs), Thursday, 9 June 2022 15:38 (one year ago) link
Don’t burn yourself out every week.
Don’t say “call the other people in the top 3 and ask them to quit Duolingo”, because although that idea makes a lot of sense I have been ordered by several different jurisdictions to cut that out Xp
― Bruce Stingbean (Karl Malone), Thursday, 9 June 2022 15:38 (one year ago) link
Trick two. When the week starts look at the top of the table and see how many crazies there are.

Feel like maybe dropping down to Obsidian, or Pearl even, and then coming back or waiting until later on the restart day, I finish on Sunday night and restart on Monday, all might give one a fighting chance of not having to compete against crazybots.

Last week there was no above a few thousand points so I went for it. This week there is already somebody with 8KP who shows 16KXP for the week.
― Double Elvis on the Dime (James Redd and the Blecchs), Thursday, 9 June 2022 15:45 (one year ago) link
So saving my stuff for a future week. Although I did get a big bonus from a Friend Challenge (new feature) so I racked up a bunch of points just so not as to get relegated.
― Double Elvis on the Dime (James Redd and the Blecchs), Thursday, 9 June 2022 15:52 (one year ago) link
But just chasing points is an empty pursuit and doesn't lead to further understanding, at least based on my anecdotal evidence.
Last week I won with about 4KXP and the other people behind me had 2KXP.

How do I shot 2X boosts?
― Build My Gallows Hi Hi Hi (James Redd and the Blecchs), Friday, 1 July 2022 23:05 (one year ago) link
some new minigames (see how many you can match) and "daily quests" and animations and stuff...and now I am not merely Duo Plus. I am Super Duo
― Bruce Stingbean (Karl Malone), Friday, 1 July 2022 23:19 (one year ago) link
they added a "perfect lesson boost" for 100 gems, which gives you +10xp for perfect lesson for the next 15 minutes.
honestly, sounds like the kind of thing i would only use if i was falling off of diamond league on sunday night and i was feeling desperate
― Bruce Stingbean (Karl Malone), Friday, 1 July 2022 23:21 (one year ago) link
in other words - hell yeah! when you're feeling the heat in duolingo, you will take any advantage available
― Bruce Stingbean (Karl Malone), Friday, 1 July 2022 23:22 (one year ago) link
But have you seen the Nu-Nu Duo yet? I kind of hate the Match Mini-Game. It goes too fast for my brane.

Basically think I may prefer this new path version. Not really missing the tips and notes that much since I found them hard to use and ulitimately gave up on them. Wonder if anyone is going to go ahead a write the guidebook for any of the smaller languages, that would be really nice, but I am doubtful.

The new pathfinder version, which only I seem to have in my circle of friends, basically flattens out the tree which is why any uncompleted tree gets much longer. Still mostly enjoying it, eliminates some of the illusion of choice.
