What's wrong with you, Duo? Like, why is this even a thing?
Language level test, difficulty 100.
I just organized a birthday party for my 6 year old with a bunch of Dutch speaking kids.
Some of the tasks I managed in Dutch:
Guide them through a treasure hunt outside through the clues and through the whole neighborhood.
Organize set of competitions with balloons.
Tutor them to play Nintendo sports, correct their posture and controller use during their volleyball, bowling, and tennis virtual competition.
Entertains them, chat, ask them about their favorite toys and games.
...That all with a bunch of 6 year old kids. It was INTENSE! And I feel great. My Dutch is STRONG now. 😄

Studying some signs for my intermediate ASL class. So far I feel more comfortable with singing and my teacher has told me that I’m doing extremely well. I feel good about it and I’m so happy all this practice is paying off:)!
Learning the Thai alphabet is a mix of feeling pride that I can look at a word and figure out how to pronounce it, and dismay at the realization that being able to pronounce it doesn't translate to knowing what the word means.
Introductory REO MĀORI
I do not see a lot of Māori language blogs (if any) on Tumblr and I am- at some point in the future- going to come up with a list of basic/introductory phrases and things to help people kickstart their Māori language journey.
Decided to try out Duolingo; hoping I actually keep on top of this 🤞🏼
To all language learners
Learning a new language by will shouldn't feel like a major burden and pain in the ass all the time. Yes there will be times you feel discouraged about your progress (esp when you're at intermediate level), times whereby you feel like you'll never be fluent enough, but so long as you don't give up and expose to it often, time flies and before you realize it, you're probably at the fluency level which you wouldn't expect years ago. It's okay to take a break if you feel like it, BUT DON'T. GIVE. UP!
