That was pretty cool. I speak a few languages, but I've never studied German. I have only picked it up from my relatives. I was able to go from German to English like a boss, but I can't write in German for anything. By taking a crack at it though, I was able to learn how to spell words I already knew how to pronounce.
-
Up to 18% now in Italian. Making good progress. Getting to 19% seems to be pretty hard, though.
-
I have tried many apps before and I like Duolingo and Babbel+ the most . I'm currently 41% in french (duolingo), trying to get 20% in Swedish, Hebrew and Russian

set to spanish

I'd love to find the time to improve my language skills.
So far, I can order basic food and drink in French, Spanish and German. I just don't understand their replies though!
I think one of the best ways to learn a language is to actually go and live in the country, where you are forced to learn, or go hungry.

That's a major part of why we live abroad in non-English countries.

I'm taking this very seriously.

@scottalanmiller The question is how much of it are you retaining? lol.

The fluency is based on retention. DuoLingo keeps testing you on old stuff to gauge how much you are keeping.

@scottalanmiller I should sign up and relearn all this Spanish I forgot, lol.

THis outage is making studying easy.

I took German in high school for a couple of years. When I first saw Duolingo a couple years ago, I started German again for a few months but got busy with other things and eventually stopped. It was great, though. I have always wanted to become fluent.

I use it from time to time but always get sidetracked or whatever. And we switch the languages that we speak locally all of the time which disrupts things. This time, I'm making a serious effort to get the Italian down.
