Practice

Revision as of 21:35, 3 August 2014

The Strengthen skills button provides an exercise practice/review of material learned in lessons, with a focus on the material that Duolingo believes the user most needs practice in at that moment^[1]. 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^[2] and, if enough words from the same skill are strengthened, also strengthening that skill. However, it may take one or more tries to fully strengthen a skill^{[citation needed]}.

Purpose

"Strenghten skills" helps users to:

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