Programming language? Human language? What language are you trying to learn, desired proficiency level and and learning style?

Overall, Duolingo is a great and free casual language learning platform.

German language—would like to be conversational in 3 years. Looking to move abroad and a second language is usually preferred. And I don’t have a secondary language.

Duolingo has a good German series

Duolingo won't get you anywhere. I like pimsleur to get started, but suggest moving to practice conversations (over Skype or at a meetup) asap. That and reading get the job done.

If that’s your reason for learning a second language I would skip German if English is your native language and go with something easier (Spanish, Italian, etc) unless you need German specifically.

I got „fluent“ with Japanese (I’m putting fluent in „“ as unless you are a mother tongue one will never be fluent in Japanese)

Duolingo

Duolingo!! Working on French and loving it

Welcome to our pre-k inclusive classroom. Even with 8 students, and only face to face for 4 hours, we struggle. We struggle being heard through our masks. We struggle with social distancing. We struggle as we find ourselves constantly reminding students to keep their masks on. We struggle to keep them engaged and to teach. One thing we do not struggle with- building connections and showing out love for each child.

Hi fishes, my previous employer has not given me the money for Earned Leaves, they are saying it's not in their policy.. I have a variable bonus of 100000. Out of this they have given only 19,000 in the month of December after 6 months of joining...But they are not giving me any bonus after completing 1 year and 2 months.. They have stopped my appraisal as well...

So in total, I lost my appraisal money, bonus and Earned Leaves money... I feel betrayed and cheated...
