To commit to my language learning I paid for a full year of premium Duolingo. I'm on my 140th day I think and I'm kind of regretting my choice.
So now I'm just gonna finish the full year and then consider switching to Busuu. I tried in it the past and I have to agree that the courses have more study material than those of Duo's.
To compensate I'm testing investing more time per day to advance a little faster. I was thinking of posting a review once I finish the year.
Duolingo just updated their Chinese lessons. Which means there are a bunch of words in earlier sections I don't know and my progress got a bit messed up. It's not the end of the world, but I'm seriously considering deleting my account's progress in their Chinese course so that I can go through the whole thing again.
Yeah I just hit diamond and I suddenly went from being really excited to look at the leaderboard to absolutely dreading it. Before diamond I was consistently in the top 3-5 every week, now I'm like grinding lessons just to not drop down. It's good though because it does make me want to learn more.

Recently started Busuu for Russian
The quality is far better than that of Duolingo and I've been enjoying it
