7 months @Sian; wtf that's like my longest relationship are you officially together or still just casual??
that's grand! keep at it, it definitely gets easier. if you haven't got one already, maybe it's worth finding a language partner who'll be happy to sit with you and speak in spanish. that helped me a lot with my german :) glad to see you've stuck with it though!
yeah there's an exchange programme with spanish and english speakers in Liverpool central library... not confident enough yet to do that but will do once i have a basic grasp. but yeah i had another lesson today, i'm getting there. just doing DuoLingo over and over again and its made such a difference in this (less than) one week.
and ooh german what made you pick that? unusual! do you use language apps
Solid 9, but also spent Valentine’s Day on Duolingo together trying to learn Welsh
oh it's good that there's a programme near you, i have to do mine online. duolingo is good, haven't used it for a long time though. i use a site/app called memrise now for learning and a site called italki to practice writing (because native soeakers will correct you and i find that useful).
i'm not sure what inspired me to learn german, but i've been wanting to since i was 14 (we never had the option to do a german gcse at my school, which is why i ended up doing french instead). i eventually want to learn another celtic language too but going to stick with learning german until i'm at a decent level before starting another.
cheers for those, can maybe look into them in a few weeks if i feel confident enough to start on writing etc x
interesting, any plans to move to Germany or Austria to try it out? i have a friend who's learnt Spanish and he lived there and he's just gone back now to get a job with a lot of talking in it to improve his fluency over the summer.Quote:
