I just got curious and looked- I didn't realize Duolingo was free!! Time to brush up on German and start with French and/or Spanish.
Eventually I want to go to France & want to know enough to get around...

It’s pretty good for being free. I watch the ads because I feel like I ought to pay for something I use a lot.

I’ve been considering brushing up on my Spanish, but am concentrating on German for now.

I sincerely hope that this one doesn’t come in handy. We don’t need another two-wheeled vehicle in the garage. We’ve got 3 with motors and 8 with pedals. [emoji23]

I look forward to learning what the means because it is defeating Google translate. [emoji54]

I have recently found that when I try to construct a sentence in German, Spanish comes out of my mouth. [emoji15]

Switch your Duolingo back to Fritzinger's, and vice versa. Then maybe he can talk Spanish to his contractors, iso/ German.

Suden,

Was uns am Meisten trennt, ist die gemeinsame Sprache :) .

For learning the subjuntivo, the model phrase:

Si you fuera tu, yo iria al doctor :) .

Seis anos de ensenanza bilingue en la escuela, y olvidi casi todo... Me falta la practica :( .

I studied Spanish for 4-5 years on and off from junior high school to college. I don’t getting any practice at all. I can still get around OK in Mexico and Central America, but ordering dinner and checking into hotels is the limit of my ability these days.
