I watch it on youtube because most of the fun of Graham is his facial reactions. He makes me laugh and Maria, who I don’t know anything about, is pretty funny too.
I completed the Duolingo Spanish course. It took me 657 days. The first two weeks, I was on the free plan to see if I could commit. After being generously added to my son’s family plan, I had a 643 day streak. Every day for 643 days, I practiced Spanish.
Can I speak Spanish? Not really.
Can I understand when Spanish is spoken? Depends. A slow clear speaker? — yes. I am confident I would get the gist (jist?) of what is being talked about.
Can I read Spanish? Yes. This is my strongest area. I studied roughly 6343 words. I do not remember all of them, but again, context clues of what I’m reading, I would do okay.
Can I write Spanish? I’ll let you decide: te ti lo perro gato comer estas leche baño tengo? (for those not wanting to bother, that’s a pretty definitive fuck no.)
Was it worth it? Absolutely. If interested, pay for it. The free plan sucks. It’s frustrating and discouraging.
The last 7 years, I needed many creative outlets to survive. Duolingo was one of those things that kept one foot moving in front of the other. As has the Keenedom been for me, along with Bev Vincent Messageboard, these patient pieces of real estate. Thank you.
Sometimes people don’t realize the good they do for a total stranger or a loved one.
Ultimately, there was no fanfare for crossing the finish line. Nobody shouting or waving banners acknowledging my achievement. Duolingo did not pat me on the back in front of the thousands of language learners so I could wave and blow kisses.
I will continue daily practice and as God is my witness, I will keep getting way too close to native speakers so I can eavesdrop on every Spanish speaking conversation in my vicinity.
That’s right. I’ll know everything about your rash when you seek guidance from the pharmacist.
