I love Duolingo, but it's not so popular here because you need to know English to learn anything other than Spanish.

Lucky for us we know English! :D You should help me learn Spanish.

    Oh.. I don't know why I thought you did, I'm such an ignorant white girl sometimes. LOL

    Yesss please. I am learning the basics right now and I love it. It's such a beautiful sounding language to me. Like with French I don't find it sounds pretty but Spanish rolls off the tongue.

    I took 4 years of Japanese in high school, and for the most part it has all been brain dumped. I'd like to learn a different language, and that's actually one of my goals if I end up being stationed in a different country.

    Being stationed in Japan is how my dad met my mother in the first place. ^^ We might as well put a thread together for all the people that want to learn Japanese here. I'm pretty sold on Turnip's idea to go the DS game route, myself...

    I have an extremely French name, so I've had customers automatically speak French and in turn embarrass themselves because I hardly know anything past the alphabet. I attempted to learn French for a little bit but got bored. Everything about the language just seems boisterous and snooty to me for some reason - no offense to anybody who speaks it.

     

    I tried learning Swedish on Duolingo for a while and got fairly far. Eventually I got frustrated and overwhelmed and gave up. Neat language though.

     

    My grandmother tried teaching me Ukrainian, her mother tongue, forcefully when I was a child. Bought books and everything. I had no interest in learning....but I might try it on Duolingo should they ever offer it. Hell, why not.

    I recently moved to Japan for university and have been trying to learn the language for several years now (been trying since before I came here). Sadly I tend to get frustrated because I can't use it practically and then I give up. :c

    I've improved a lot more since moving here, but I still can't have practical conversations. It really sucks and makes making friends kind of difficult. :/
