    At the moment I’m only doing Duolingo because I don’t have time, money or energy for anything more in-depth. Duolingo doesn’t have the languages I’d really really like to learn, so I make do with selections from their best constructed courses.

    I’ve been studying Italian for 3 months. I chose Italian because before that I was learning Esperanto. But the Duolingo Esperanto course became worse for some reason, and I figured Esperanto would help me to recognise a lot of Italian. I was right!

    I started Portuguese a few days ago. Always wanted to try Portuguese, but the weird pronunciations discouraged me. Eventually I just jumped in and had a go. My ear is starting to adjust to it.

    And when I’m bored with those 2, I revise my German. Mainly because I like the goofy voices on the German course.

    I squeeze in lessons during downtime at work, and my colleagues don’t seem to like it. Oh well. They shouldn’t be so tedious to talk to!
