Practice

Revision as of 18:05, 11 August 2014

The Strengthen skills button provides a random number ^[1] of exercises reviewing material learned in lessons, with a focus on the material that Duolingo believes the user most needs practice in at that moment^[2]. Such practices are untimed by default, however a timed practice option is also available for purchase in the Lingot Store.

Successfully completing a practice session results in strengthening the words practiced^[3] and, if enough words from the same skill are strengthened, also strengthening one or more related skills^[4]. However, it may take one or more tries to fully strengthen a skill^{[citation needed]}.

Best practices

Duolingo recommends that "learners should first focus on finishing all the lessons in a skill, and later come back to review them at just the right times"^[5]

Purpose

"Strenghten skills" helps users to:

Memorize;
Test their knowledge;
Review learnt material; and
Maintain and improve their skills.
