    1200 days of language learning? Different languages or the same one? If it’s the same one you probably don’t need an app anymore. Try talking to natives in your chosen second language. You might be surprised how much you know. I used duo for about a year when i moved to a different language country. After that year i found it was holding me back more than helping.

      Do you just force yourself into their day and start talking at them? And you don’t feel guilty for forcing them to talk to you?

      Extroverts are wild lol

        I live in colombia so it’d be pretty difficult to find someone who doesn’t speak spanish. Why would i feel guilty for talking to someone? I don’t force anyone to talk i just talk to them normally. I find a lot of times if they know a little english they like to practice that as much as i like to practice spanish.

          That’s the same thing - you interrupt their day and insert yourself into it by barging in to talk at them, forcing them to have an interaction with you.

          Why would i feel guilty for talking to someone?

          The fact that you’re asking this is amazing to me. You can’t even imagine it!
