Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch

or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Do you duo? LINGO that is.

It's taking over the New Things thread ... everybody's duolingoing it.

Thought it better have a thread all to itself.

I do Spanish & like the app a lot, but gamification works for me in exercise too.

Duolingo's style of 'study a little often' is spot on

Occasional Froggy-style and less frequent Deutsch-sprechen. To remind myself of language lost.

Nice one Sharkster (that's the Danish for Sharkie*)

I am ----- doing Danish.

My missus is doing Welsh and has already dislocated her tongue trying to pronounce the Welsh for February...

French is my 'best' .. I started with that then decided it was more sense to tackle Spanish again. I'd previously got up to 'Suenos' volume 2 (intermediate) with the Beeb.

Will also revisit Italian (end of Italianissimo Vol 2 - another intermediate Beeb course)

Am complete beginner in German... but I want to do it!

Might be worth - for any Duolingo learner - looking at either or both of the Michel Thomas or Pimsleur spoken language courses. (If one is available for your chosen language of course.)

They *are* expensive but many libraries will stock the CDs. I think they'd work well as a complementary resource for Duolingo.

Some German has been done here, Mr Lemon10 had some German colleagues for a while so we both learned some using duolingo, very entertaining. I have of course forgotten it all now as its a few months since we did it. muppet

I can get by with some Makaton (BSL is a bit harder to comprehend because the sentence structure is not the same as in spoken English). The other day, I worked out that I knew over 200 signs. However, I cannot follow the experts as they're too fast for me to follow.
