>>Yesterday I tried out the Blood Orange Cordial, which I really like. I made shortbread cookies with it. I think we've already devoured about half the batch.<<
I read the recipe you posted. It sounded delicious, and like you really enjoyed it.
>>It sounds like Duolingo is aiming to make things stick, not just rush through like school often does.<<
Ya, the app does it's best to give you enough time to learn things and actually have them stick around in your brain. The major courses especially (French, Spanish, etc) are very in depth and designed with fluency according to the International Standard (I forget it's actual name) in mind. While I still would like to reach level 4 across the board, I have decided that I'm going to work from the beinning of the course to the end and bring everything up to Level 2 first, then 3, then 4, if I get that far.
