Learning Catalan on DuoLingo
I have always loved language learning and frankly, I want a job programming for language learning applications. The only reason I haven't gone and got one is basically I live in the wrong country for Rosetta Stone, MindSnacks, DuoLingo and Memrise don't seem to be interested in me. Well, it's their loss really because there's a level of enthusiasm and can-do attitude that is essentially unparalleled among my peers.
But since I booked a trip to Barcelona I decided to learn Catalan on DuoLinguo and I have now reached 90 days yay!!! Unfortunately Catalan for English speakers isn't available so I have been learning it from Spanish which can be confusing. I often don't know if I am answering something in Spanish or Catalan!!!
I should be able to hit 150 days on the day I fly to Barcelona on 2nd September 2022. I'll see how far I can get on the app this month, but I'm going to switch to Complete Catalan (part of the teach yourself series for August for more dialogues and grammar) and just maintain the course that I have learned so far on DuoLingo.
Then when I get back from Spain I have a trip to Rhodes a month and a bit later so I might switch to Greek, but my Dad and Sister are hitting 80 days of consistent Italian learning so that might be something to learn soon or after Greek.
