Duolingo

New streak milestone

I started Duolingo a long time ago, and like most people I stopped. But I’ve committed to this for over six years. First Italian to get the basics when we went to Tuscany in 2018, then Danish because I worked for an Anglo-Danish company. I went to Copenhagen twice a year, I did find my basic grasp useful. But I’ve been concentrating on German for the last few years.

Our youngest started learning German at secondary school, I did an O level back in ‘87, so I thought it would be good to brush up and help her with the language. Like all languages, German has its challenges but Youngest and I can chat in German and annoy Mrs S (whose French is coming along after a few years of Duo).

I’ve yet to test my German in the wild, I’ve not been since 2019 when I went to Frankfurt for a conference. I’ll keep on going since Youngest is doing German A level and I don’t want to be left behind.

Still can’t stand that owl, though. Needy, naggy little prick.
