If anyone wants to try learning a new language I suggest trying Duolingo🙂

It’s an app you can download on your phone!
I’m currently trying to learn Swedish on it

I think @Loke has a big interest in languages. I’m not sure what app she uses though.

If you can afford it I recommend Pimsleur. Another free option to learn Swedish is Alison.com just do a search for languages. Rosetta Stone is also very good if you can afford it. Duolingo is very good for learning foreign alphabets.

I have been studying Spanish on and off for the past 50 years and I’m only just now beginning to feel more comfortable with it.

I’ve recently taken the Babbel and Rosetta Stone courses. Now, I’m two thirds of the way through the Duolingo course. I’ve loved all three.

I also recently hired a Spanish tutor online to study Spanish with and converse in Spanish with for an hour each week.

I’m also subscribing to People Magazine en espanol.

You’ve progressed a lot since getting your tutor. There’s a guy on YouTube I think his name is Jeff Brown. Learned Egyptian Arabic fluently in 6 months just by meeting with a tutor an hour or two a week.

I also use memrise.com from time to time.

You talking about Duolingo? What language are you learning?

I have used Duolingo before. I was trying to learn French… I stopped though. Because it was like repetitive and the notifications were too much. … maybe I will try again.

I use it for practicing French at least half an hour per day.

Oh cool :sunglasses:. I tried to learn French. It was hard. I gave it up. Do Canadians speak French in all territories?

No. Hard nope. Quebec and its people are mostly despised in the province I live in. My level of fluency marks me as the enemy. You find some who speak French in Ontario, fewer on the East Coast, and almost nothing west of Ontario. Most who speak French in Western Canada do so because they figured out it’s essential to work in the federal service despite French being a dead language on this side of the country.
