I assembled my bicycle with the help of official tutorial videos. These videos are so detailed that I can see how to assemble every part. Though tiring, I made it.

All small tasks that are one part of what I should do, for example, answering a question in the weekly topic. Becasue that can give me a sense that I'm really doing that.

啊啊是谁都对: Besides, I was afraid of German when I first watched these teaching videos (especially pronunciation). Thanks to Duolingo, I could learn German words and sentences first then learning the phonetic symbols.
