pegkerrI've had a number of conversations over the past year with friends who are using Duolingo to learn foreign languages. I had used Duolingo before, getting all the way to the end of the French program, but I'd always used the free version before. As a result of these recent conversations, however, I decided to take the plunge and pay for a year's membership for Super Duolingo. (Friend me if you'd like: my member name is Pegbluesox4113).
The paid version has a number of tricks to get you hooked on using the app, but I don't mind, because that exactly suits my purpose. Yes, I'd like to get more fluent in French. I've used Duolingo to dabble in other languages, too (I'd particularly like to learn Scottish Gaelic, but the spelling is CRAZY). I have the most experience with French, however, and so that is what I've picked up for the time being.
Right now, I'm studying about a half hour to an hour a day. It's fun. I'm not quite at the point where I'm ready to go back to the Meetup French conversation, but perhaps within the next six months?
Lower left corner: a woman wearing a French beret (Peg) smiles at the viewer. Lower right corner: a basket of French baguettes, overlaid by the Eiffel Tower. Upper left: the words "I'm on a 75-day learning streak" overlay a red white and blue map of France. Upper right: the Duolingo logo (owl) with spread wings. Background of the collage is orange, with French words scattered throughout the center.
