How to Block Robotexts and Spam Messages.I'm mostly doing it to practice the Korean I already know, but I'm hoping the additional material will teach me some new things as well, since I'm better at Korean and learning the language than I was when I first began (and quickly ended up quitting) the Korean course over two years ago. Several months ago I completed the entire Korean course to level 1, but since then there's been an update to the course so there's a lot more material added. Here's some more things I have to say now: As I've just fully completed the Chinese course, I'm going back to the Korean one to complete it. Use other resources, especially if you're not taking any sort of class and just self-studying.The first Duolingo course I ever tried was the Korean course, and based on my experience I would say comparatively the Chinese course is definitely better for beginners to the language. Overall, the Chinese course on Duolingo has been effective for me personally, but just like every other course you cannot entirely rely solely on Duolingo to learn Chinese. However, there are still some things I didn't know, since the course was more comprehensive in certain subjects than a Duolingo course can be.

A few months ago, I made a post about how I had completed the Chinese course to level 5 and had gotten about half of it to legendary.
