cintinative Posted January 31, 2021 Posted January 31, 2021 Okay, so it's really not February . . . yet, but I can't find the prior threads at all. I don't even know that they were on this board! @Matryoshka Do you know? How is everyone doing with their self-study? I could use a little encouragement to keep going. 1 Quote
Miss Tick Posted January 31, 2021 Posted January 31, 2021 Maybe the other threads are in the bilingual board. I always just press the What's New button and don't pay attention to where the newness comes from. I'm still plodding along on Duolingo. I've crossed into the 600s for my streak, but I rarely do more than that on my own. What are you doing for study? 1 Quote

I am about halfway to checkpoint 3. Some days I just don't want to though. I thought I would keep my drive up since I am teaching my kids' Spanish, but maybe I am a bit burned out? 1 Quote
alisoncooks Posted January 31, 2021 Posted January 31, 2021 I believe the other threads (with gardenmom?) were in the Chat Board. 1 Quote
cintinative Posted January 31, 2021 Author Posted January 31, 2021 Should I just start one on the chat board then? Quote
MamaSprout Posted February 1, 2021 Posted February 1, 2021 Let me know what you do... I'd like to join in, but usually don't check the Chat board unless I know there's something there. 1 Quote
Junie Posted February 1, 2021 Posted February 1, 2021 Well, I guess I'll just reply here and then reply again if we end up with another thread... I am working on learning Spanish, French, and ASL. I've made some really good progress on duolingo and I can tell that it is really helping me to learn the language. I finished the Spanish Reverse tree and then I hopped over to my Spanish tree and completed the new lessons that had been added since I completed it last year. So I have two beautiful golden trees now! I am still going to Spanish church services via zoom and have added in a ladies' Bible study. My Spanish comprehension is pretty good, although some people are harder to understand, especially when they get excited about something. Speaking, however, is still pretty difficult. I do better if I can think of what I'm going to say ahead of time. On duolingo I am now working on the French tree. I already had a little bit of it completed from when I had dabbled in it before. I am currently working on taking the lessons up to the red level; then, when I get to the end I will go back up to the top to turn everything golden. I am hoping to have the French tree done by the end of 2021. My plan is to do the French Reverse tree in 2022. I have no idea how I'm going to get French practice, as I don't really know anyone who speaks it. I am also still dabbling in ASL with youtube videos. Quote
