When all the madness began in March, I decided it was a good time to plug back into Duolingo. I've been faffing about with learning Spanish for several years--and I had also added on German since I took that in high school.
Guess which is going better?
But I do find if I warm up with a German lesson or two, my brain handles Spanish better when I get to it. I found this in college as well. I took a semester of French, mostly for fun, and while we weren't allowed ot speak English, I would often end up asking half my question in German. Thankfully, the teacher spoke both. But he would shake his head and say, "En Francais!"
Oops.
Anyway, as I'm enjoying it and I'm on a two hundred plus day streak now, I told my sister, when she asked, that she could get me a year of premium for Christmas.
And so she did.
I'm kind of excited to explore the progress quizzes and such that they have on the paid side. I think some things I know better than what's represented in my little screen--I guess we'll see.
But also, since they just changed the way they handle your "lives" and made it SUUUUUPER annoying, the best part of paid is that goes away. (Which I'm sure was part of why they changed it. But I was at the point where I was like whelp, either someone gives me this for Christmas or I guess I quit b/c it's that dumb.)
And there you are.
