Are you the kind of person who sticks to dreams?
I try to stick to my dreams as much as possible because they give me a sense of direction and motivation. However, I also believe it’s important to be realistic and adjust your dreams if needed. Sometimes, life takes unexpected turns, and it’s necessary to adapt while keeping your goals in mind.

SAMPLE ANSWER
A new language apart from my mother tongue that I was always keen about learning was French. My school offered to teach us French when I was in 5th grade, so I took it up as my 3rd language apart from Hindi and English. I studied French from my 5th class until my 10th class. The teachers were really good.
They taught us with the utmost patience and I really enjoyed studying and learning French. I also took help from duolingo which also provide me lot of information. I was almost always a topper during my French exams in all of my classes. After completing my school, I also took up French during my graduation course that was another 4 years, so in total I have studied French for a total of 10 years.

Recently I visited to France for a family vacation and I was really grateful that I took up French in my school and college as it really helped with the communication during our trip. It was so much easier to communicate with everyone around in France including the cab drivers, the hotel managers and other tourists also. I am extremely grateful that I took it up as a 3rd language. Even my family was very happy at the time of the vacation that I was so fluent in French that we didn’t have any problem during any of our vacation days.
Everything went pretty smoothly. Now I also want to learn another language while simultaneously improving my skills in French so that I do not lose touch with it. Another language that I would love to learn is German because the next trip that I am planning as a vacation is to Germany so I really believe that we should keep learning new languages as it helps to vacation around the world.

What specific features of Duolingo helped you the most?
The gamification aspect of Duolingo was incredibly motivating. The points and rewards system kept me engaged and encouraged me to practice daily. Additionally, the bite-sized lessons made it easier to digest complex concepts without feeling overwhelmed.
How did you feel after failing the language course initially?
Initially, I felt defeated and embarrassed. It was a blow to my confidence, but it also sparked a determination in me to not give up. I realized that failure could be a stepping stone to improvement, and it pushed me to find better ways to learn.

What other methods did you try to improve your language skills?
Besides using Duolingo, I also tried watching French movies and listening to French music. Immersing myself in the language through media helped me with pronunciation and understanding cultural context, which made learning more enjoyable.
How do you think learning a new language affects your confidence?
Learning a new language has significantly boosted my confidence. It allows me to express myself in new ways and connect with others. Each small achievement in learning French makes me feel more capable and proud, which helps combat my low confidence.
IELTS Speaking Test
What challenges did you face while learning French?
One challenge I faced was mastering the pronunciation, as some sounds in French are quite different from Hindi and English. Additionally, keeping up with the grammar rules was sometimes difficult, but my teachers were very supportive and helped me through those tough spots.
