Did anybody besides me start tinkering with learning a language when the pandemic hit? I don't spend a lot of time on it, but it's been fun, a bit more so than I expected actually. I figured it would be good for this old aging brain
and a moderately enjoyable hobby to take up and likely drop after a short time, but I started it using the Duolingo app and it does a good job of varying the learning methods and keeping it fun.
The app gets very good reviews and is used by lots of people throughout the world. I also think if you put some time into it, it would be pretty effective. I just kinda dabble with French for fun. With my modest time investments, I’ve done some calculating and extrapolating...I should speak moderately fluent French around my 175th birthday or so!
No plans to visit France. Canada possibly.
The app has a 'friends' feature, where you can share your experiences somehow or another, so if anybody else uses Duolingo, or tinkers with learning a language in any other way, consider posting here just for some fun and chit-chat...in who knows what language(s)?
