Duolingo! It is a great app. But I more use hellotalk app. I can chat and exchange languages with foreigners and put posts in a foreign launguage like social media . This was really fun and I was so addicted. It’s not bad to try if you’re above intermediate level.
OK I will attempt the German writing…

What are you learning?
I’m meant to be fluent lol seeing as I’m German and my parents speak to me… N I really dunno how correct the grammar n spelling is
But thanks 
Je parle couramment le français, mais je n’ai pas assez d’opportunités de le pratiquer là où je vis, car être bilingue est rare ici. Cela m’aidera à garder mes compétences linguistiques en place.
J’ai toujours voulu apprendre le japonais, mais je ne pouvais pas justifier de dépenser cet argent. Je pense que cela a peut-être changé.

So you speak French but want to learn Japanese? I was able to understand a little of what you said.
Yes. I attended a bilingual school system in my youth, but my main problem is that people who can speak French are statistical outliers in my province. I watch French television and read French media to try and preserve my language skills. This puts another important tool in my bag, so, thank you.
I have always been fascinated by Japanese culture and I’m an anime and manga nut, so learning Japanese has always been a bucket list item, just couldn’t justify the expense. Guess what I’ll be doing this evening?

Wow MrSquirrel
You and me have more in common that you might suspect.
I am also a manga and anime buff, albeit semi retired. I know a few Japanese words too. Oh and French too given that I’ve spent 3.5 years in Paris and guess what? I plan on going back there soon !

I used to buy DVD movies in Spanish to maintain my skills.
It’s funny my daughter who’s half Hispanic has no desire to learn Spanish
French and Japanese most likely. I budget an hour per day for personal learning and I spend it with my daughter every second or third day. To me true luxury isn’t what I own, it’s the ability to learn something, “just because.”

I just spent a couple of hours doing verb drills. I haven’t touched Spanish for years and I am going to get right back into it for the next 6 months.
I use a bit of software called ‘Verbarrator’ which has all the tenses and quite a few verbs. I paid about £30 for it five years ago, It is excellent. You can set it to do English to Spanish and vice versa, with phrases or without. Timed to how you like it. It does the audio and key cards.
I highly recommend it as there are so many tense endings to learn outright in Spanish.

I agree with you on that.

Spanish conjugation was easy for me. Now German is hard!
The way I was taught Japanese made it easy. We also learned hirigana, katakana and kanji (Japanese writing).
