Ich lerne jeden Tag Deutsch! Still getting in my daily Deutsch lessons (on Duo, I don't just mean trying to decipher !ich_iel@feddit.de posts!)

I kind of miss studying Chinese as well but I wasn't getting much use from it and a casual watch of any actual Chinese speakers convinced me that Duo was not really teaching me the right way to say things.

Maybe I should get back into Spanish though... it's weird but learning multiple different languages as once actually seems a little easier; it gets the language center of the brain making lots of new connections.

Though, I'm still salty about duolingo changing the free-form lessons into the "learning path" and don't feel motived to work on other languages much. I keep up with German because I'm nearly to a 1000 day streak and my ocd wont allow me to let it drop! Help, the green owl is holding me prisoner with my own mind!

trying to decipher !ich_iel@feddit.de posts!)

Honestly, I'm German native speaker and sometimes have no idea what the fucks going on over there.
