actually that was quite good :) of course one can always improve ;) ",weil ich meine Deutschzertifikatsprüfung (als Fremdsprache) als nächstes bestehen möchte" / "Duolingo finde ich einfach toll, um ... (you missed a comma xD but don't worry, normally not many people care about that ... at least in chats or sms ^^ mentioned it anyway).
Kleine Frage: Haben Sie erst mit Duolingo angefangen Deutsch zu lernen oder besuchen Sie eine Abendschule bzw. nutzen Sie noch andere Möglichkeiten? Würde mich sehr interessieren :3 Ihr Deutsch scheint bereits ziemlich gut zu sein (schriftlich zumindest ^^ Ich habe bereits selbst bemerkt, dass sprechen noch mal was völlig anderes ist)
I am an old-school learner admiring the new technologies. I went to the evening courses for German. For listening I recommend checking out www.germanpod101.com, for writing - http://www.deutschakademie.de/online-deutschkurs
I honestly have to agree, English is not exactly a pretty language to learn or even to speak. It's so difficult that even English majors can have a hard time and have argued over proper spelling, grammar, etc. Kinda glad I'm getting out of English lol, but German is likely to not be my only other language to speak :p
Juan, it think it is obvious by now that I only use Duolingo as a helping/secondary resource. As a person serious about the foreign language level I am preparing for the Zertifikat Deutsch and just naturally I researched available internet resources for languages. Duolingo is the best I've found so far! It gives a well defined structure and path to acquire the skills. And it certainly helps to brush up. It also gives you a great confidence boost and discipline. But yes, I learned the hard way too: reading all these grammar books and doing evening classes with Duolingo in my pocket as a daily vocabulary top-up for at least half a year. All the best with your language efforts!
Wie lange hat es gedauert? Ich habe schön Deutsch in der Schule studieren und schätze, das ich um B1-B2 Niveau bin. Bei Duolingo ist jede Übung relativ leicht, aber es gibt so viel das es unmachtbar scheint. Jetzt habe ich 214 übrig. Wenn es drei Minuten pro Übung dauert, würde es noch 10 Studen, tippen so schnell wie möglich.

Congratulations! A good reason to be overjoyed and excited. Perhaps you can clarify something for me. I am still confused as to what is meant by a "tree". Does that refer to the complete course, and the forest then to other languages?
