Foreign language in high school...Duolingo?
My dd has been enjoying Duolingo for French for two years now (she'll be starting 9th grade), but she only spends about 10 minutes a day on it. (The lessons are short.) I want to be able to give her two French credits on her high school transcript. I can't see paying for Rosetta Stone when Duolingo is free and seems to be very good. I used The Learnables Spanish with my boys, and I thought that was also good, but neither of them retained much. (I think a French club would be fun to start, but I don't speak French! Maybe I'll ask around.)
So my question...can we use Duolingo as an actual high school curriculum? We'd need to log around 120 hours to count it as a three hour credit, I believe, so if she spent 40 minutes a day? I'm thinking 30 might be more realistic. And do you know of other ways to enrich the app? Do you use Duolingo as an official credit, or do you have another curricula you like?
