I’ve done duo lingo for a couple languages. I find it easier to read the language. But without actual conversation with another person. Makes it very hard to grasp the language. I’ve gotten a tip. That watching children shows that use the language are the best way to start. Dora for example.
Well thankfully I expect to die before I retire. As Homer Simpson once said “You tried, and failed miserably. The lesson is, never try.” Unless I hit the lottery which I almost never play. Retirement would be miserable for me. Basically just waiting to die already. My grandparents could barely afford to survive. My parents are almost there and are the same.
