Haha, aye been using it for Spanish as well ,think im on 510 day streak ,mind I only do about 10 minutes every day.Anyone use it? Mi espanyol is gannin canny like Amigo
I did Spanish evening classes about 8 years ago for something to do. The trouble is that almost everywhere you go in Spain when you try to exercise your language skills you will get a reply in English.Started Spanish on it during first lockdown, for all the holidays we can't go on. Lost my way in summer probably because the pubs were back open.
Need to start daily on it again
Drop me a PM tomorrow and I'll sort you out. On my phone at the minute at its pain in the arse.Can you PM me please
I’m learning German, although not via Duolingo. I may give that a go.I use it for German. I've got the Duolino Plus version so don't have to suffer through ads and losing lives and shit. It's canny. Me and the Mrs (no) are learning it together which I find helps as we can try having conversations with each other.
I’d like to read foreign newspapers and Twitter accounts. German is my preferred language to learn, mainly because I love Berlin and go there often. The standard of English in Berlin is superb, so I doubt I’d use much German over there. But it’d just be nice to have some grounding in the language and read the local press, Twitter etc.I did Spanish evening classes about 8 years ago for something to do.

It's still useful for reading menus in restaurants which don't have pictures of the food and being polite to people.
glad it helped to improve your EnglishI found Memrise far better, really good app. Give it a go.
That said, I can't speak a lick of any language other than English!
Yes, Berlin is a fantastic city though in recent years it has become a much more of international city with English used everywhere. Fortunate as my German is limited to "Noch ein Bier bitte"" despite doing two years at school. German grammar just makes my head hurt.I’d like to read foreign newspapers and Twitter accounts.

Try Memrise. The phrases are less weird and you see them being spoken by people via video clips. It's a good app to accompany Duolingo.I’m giving German a crack too. Got a 306 day Duolingo streak. I’m not sure I would be able to say much to an actual German yet though. Most of it seems to be about the bear eating the mouse and other such useful stuff.
I'm fairly confident in Polish and it's similar when I'm over there. I just continue speaking in Polish until they get the hint, which thankfully they usually take as a positive and switch back. It sometimes happens though where they don't realise I know more than just yes/no/thank you and we'll have a full conversation of them speaking English and me in pigeon Polish!I did Spanish evening classes about 8 years ago for something to do.

I used to go to Spain four or five times a year, so started to learn Spanish, some years ago."Yes, I started learning Spanish six years ago."
Is this something you’re willing to share around mate?Then you're in luck. I'll pm you the APK for the premium version of the app.
I did a course at Durham Uni in 15/16, beginners which I think is referred to as A1, and had every intent on continuing as I had intentions of living there one day. Of course, plenty happened since then, politically and otherwise, that's hampered my progress but I do need to be practicing with other people to progress to the next level.I used to go to Spain four or five times a year, so started to learn Spanish, some years ago.
I also used to go to a weekly Spanish class, in H/pool, and really enjoyed learning.
Youtube has some very good, free tutorials.
