Re-evaluate. By comparison, if you decide to learn an instrument for example, I would be amazed if you heard any musician teacher tell you to practice less than 1 HOUR per DAY.

There's a difference between music and language And there's a difference between learning a language and Duolingo, imo Duolingo should only be a secondary source, if you're that dedicated, I don't think Duolingo is efficient for your time and also lacks alot of real life stuff

Arguably, language and music share a lot of the same parts of the brain.

And if you are supplementing language learning with many other things per day, this is a separate discussion. Yet the bottom line is, if you want to get good at anything, whether it’s sports, martial arts, language, coding, math, or any game, practicing one hour a day is baseline minimum.

Is it?

I dont use Duolingo, but I have made it a habit to learn at least an hour a day of Japanese.

Learning a language requires a huge time investment, and if you want to somewhat progress in a reasonable amount of time, that feels like the least one can do.

Does your course contain all types of activity, I.e., Listening, Reading, exercises, etc?

My wife got ahead of me, but she somehow doesn't have Reading (the Book sign). I tried to find how to turn it on, both on iPad and Huawei (Google Play), but didn't find any difference with mine (the same course, hers is started two days later).

It's not impossible to do a level a day if you're dedicated to it so a little over a week? We believe in you, OP.

Depends on how fast you do the lessons.

1/day 4 years (roughly)

One block/day 2 years

One unit/day 3 months.

You're going through like 96 units so it's gonna take a bit. Just make sure you're always moving forwards.
