    Started French lessons on Duolingo. Haven't studied it in 20 years, but apparently I'm 27% fluent. But I'm really not liking how lessons are structured – they ask you to translate a sentence before telling you what the key words mean (e.g. today: celui, cela, ceci, ceux, celles), so big surprise when you get it wrong.

    • French is a complicated lauguage, so many exceptions and rules and grammar shit. English is really easy compared to it.Bennn

    • I downloaded it hoping to refresh and continue my Korean, which I found easier than French.i_monk
    • I gave up on Duolingo for trying to learn Italian—couldn't gel with it at all. Now I just get drunk and gesticulate wildly. Which, to be fair, I've always done.detritus
