Μαθαίνω ελληνικά. - I am learning Greek.

I am at the point of being able to read Greek, introduce myself, ask and respond to “how are you” and how to say “I am still learning Greek can we speak English”. haha

    2,337 days in on learning German. My goal is to understand all of the band Rammstein’s library of work without needing a translator.

      I just gave up Duolingo at 1770 days for French which hurt to do. I was mostly just maintaining a streak at this point and with the news of them using AI to replace their employees (even if they retracted it), I decided to quit.

      I’ve switched to Babbel now which has been really good so far

        As a native french speaker, I can say with confidence that the duolingo french course sucks and that you’re better off using something else.

        I’d also recommend speaking to native speakers and watching shows in french, that’s great for learning.

          Yeah… I wasn’t actually learning a whole lot. I live right across the river from Quebec though so I’m hoping to move over there to immerse myself in French a lot more.

          I’ve always been bitter because my whole Dad’s side of the family is Francophone but never bothered to speak the language with me :(

          Sehr schön, weiter so! (Deren Texte sind oft nur auf den ersten Blick oberflächlich, tatsächlich aber mehrdeutig)
