I'm happy to announce that I'm almost at the end of my DuoLingo Spanish course!
It's been an on again, off again journey of two and a half years, and it looks like I will only need about a month or so to complete the entire tree! Congratulations are in order...
Soon I will need to make some decisions about where to take my language learning in the future. I know that I want to maintain my knowledge and build on it in both active and passive ways. (Active might be taking on a mew systematic learning journey, while passive might mean reading El País or listening to music and looking up anything I don't know.)
I also know that I've been bitten by the language learning bug, and want to add a new one to my repertoire.
But which? -- Danish? French? German? Dutch? Swedish? Norwegian? Catalan?
From a practical point of view, French or German is probably the best. In fact, I've been thinking of taking up French again with pleasure. For some reason I think of it as a difficult language. I'm not sure why. Perhaps I need a tutor to help me weave an intuitive journey through things already processed on a more cerebral level.
You know what? I've decided to take up French next. I'm capable, and it will be a delightful achievement.
Onwards!
