Sharkie Feb 2016 11:10am, 12 Feb 2016 8,714 posts	0 Sharkie It's taking over the New Things thread ... everybody's duolingoing it. Thought it better have a thread all to itself.
JulesR Feb 2016 11:16am, 12 Feb 2016 7,384 posts	0 JulesR I do Spanish & like the app a lot, but gamification works for me in exercise too. Duolingo's style of 'study a little often' is spot on
The Teaboy Feb 2016 11:31am, 12 Feb 2016 13,700 posts	0 The Teaboy Occasional Froggy-style and less frequent Deutsch-sprechen. To remind myself of language lost.
McGoohan Feb 2016 11:40am, 12 Feb 2016 21,564 posts	0 McGoohan Nice one Sharkster (that's the Danish for Sharkie*) I am ----- doing Danish. My missus is doing Welsh and has already dislocated her tongue trying to pronounce the Welsh for February...
LindsD Feb 2016 11:45am, 12 Feb 2016 8,687 posts	0 LindsD Brushing up my Dutch. Whole extended family is in competition.
Sharkie Feb 2016 11:51am, 12 Feb 2016 8,715 posts	0 Sharkie French is my 'best' .. I started with that then decided it was more sense to tackle Spanish again. I'd previously got up to 'Suenos' volume 2 (intermediate) with the Beeb. Will also revisit Italian (end of Italianissimo Vol 2 - another intermediate Beeb course) Am complete beginner in German... but I want to do it!
McGoohan Feb 2016 11:58am, 12 Feb 2016 21,565 posts	0 McGoohan Might be worth - for any Duolingo learner - looking at either or both of the Michel Thomas or Pimsleur spoken language courses. (If one is available for your chosen language of course.) They are expensive but many libraries will stock the CDs. I think they'd work well as a complementary resource for Duolingo.

Lemon10 Feb 2016 12:03pm, 12 Feb 2016 1,891 posts	0 Lemon10 Some German has been done here, Mr Lemon10 had some German colleagues for a while so we both learned some using duolingo, very entertaining. I have of course forgotten it all now as its a few months since we did it.
Surrey Phil Feb 2016 12:35pm, 12 Feb 2016 1,263 posts	0 Surrey Phil I can get by with some Makaton (BSL is a bit harder to comprehend because the sentence structure is not the same as in spoken English). The other day, I worked out that I knew over 200 signs. However, I cannot follow the experts as they're too fast for me to follow.
