They will also have to practice their target language as they carry out realistic tasks such as ordering coffee, shopping, or asking for directions in the mini-games.
The real-world scenarios in Duolingo Adventures will help you improve your language skills and make you proficient in your target language in a fun manner.
Adventures also helps you with immersive feedback in a unique real-life manner if you make any mistake during a given scenario.
It does not correct you but redirects you. Eg: If you use a wrong word in a particular scenario then the other characters will ask if you meant this or that.
