Duolingo

Foreign Language

• The Fourth-grade child has learned basic vocabulary and phrases in a foreign language through Duolingo.
• They have practiced listening and speaking skills by completing various exercises and interactive lessons.
• The child has gained an understanding of sentence structure and grammar rules in the foreign language.
• They have also been exposed to cultural aspects of the language through Duolingo's lessons and activities.

For continued development, encourage the child to practice the foreign language outside of Duolingo. They can engage in conversation with someone who speaks the language, watch movies or shows in that language, or even try writing short stories or journal entries in the foreign language. This will help them apply what they have learned in a real-life context and further enhance their language skills.
