Anybody using this app?

My eldest daughter intro me to it as she was learning Spanish before her trip to Mexico

So i asked her to download it for me..

n im addicted…

the thing is i did Spanish in high sch from form1-3 (1971-74)

I was top student getting 99% (just because my teacher didnt feel anyone deserved 100% so he had to search for a reson to take away that 1%..eg if i didnt cross a T or dot an I or the full-stop wasnt visibible enough..also handwriting!!

unfortunately I wasnt allowed to continue it to exam level because I opted to do Science…it was offered in Arts only.

well I am shocked how much i remember..ie the vocab..

Translation from spanish to English is simple for me..

n the verbs too..ie conjugation

Putting english to Spanish is abit challenging ie to make sentences…

never-the-lessm I managed to move up to emerald levels,( n in the top 3 too ) in a month.

Now it is more difficult..meaning i have to learn it at this leavel..

PS

hubby is laughing at me..wants to know if im planning to relocate to s Spanish speaking country..lol

iT is  good for the ‘ole’ brain ..

i am having so much fun..

I've used it but prefer Rosetta Stone because it's more comprehensive and was available free from my public library.

Hi Anta..i didnt know Rosetta stone is free…

duolingo is just to occupy my time….my daughter went to Mexico n wanted to learn a bit of Spanish. 1 day she asked me  wht Lo Siento means (she knows i did Spanish in sch) .  so i asked her if she was learning Spanish n she told me abt this free app. So then i asked her to download it for me.



i know abt Rosetta Stone a long time

Hi Lynn... all the libraries I've joined in the US in the last 15 years have had some language software available free for members. In NY Rosetta Stone was available and Texas libraries have Mango Languages.
