Duo at 2600

It’s now over seven years since I started my Duolingo steak. Today I hit 2600 days!

I’ve concentrated on German for the last few years, partly to help our youngest with her German and also as a good intellectual exercise. I’ve also done quite a bit of Danish (hvorfor har du ikke bukser på?) and tried Scots Gaelic, though I struggled a lot with that.

Am I fluent? No. Can I ask for things in German? Probably. I still struggle with grammar, especially declension, which is usually a guess. I mean, why do they need so many words for ‘the’? How does such a thing even come about? That’s a linguistics question and there’s no Duolingo for that.
