fellow Italian learner here! have you watched Falling in Love with the Italian Language. Interview with Jhumpa Lahiri on YouTube? it inspires me to learn in ways that classes, podcasts, tutors, journals, etc, etc have not. if you would, please share the recommendations you get as I am also planning a trip and could use some direction.
sbagliando s'impara <3 only by making mistakes will you learn
Hi Morgan! I have not watched that interview, but I will as soon as possible! I love Lahiri and it sounds fascinating. And yes, I will share lots of Italy details as I figure them out - can't wait to share the journey! <3
So I just downloaded Duolingo, lol. I got addicted to Wordl, then BRDL, then Quordle, then Secordle (16 games at once). Just yesterday I said ok, I need a game where at lest I learn something because it turns out you do eventually start seeing the same words over and over. And here you post the answer - Duolingo! I didn’t know it was so game like but now I am going to try learning Spanish again. I tried years ago with some other software but maybe this time it will stick. Thanks!
Yes!!! Duolingo is the best kind of game. I'm actually spending way less time on social media these days because every time I pick up my phone I go straight to Duo and start learning instead of scrolling. It's life changing!

Grazie, Rodrigo! That is so generous!
Hi Chrissy,
My pleasure.
If you prefer, you could DM me @rlope on twitter.
Hope all is well

I keep wanting to find ways to get back in the habit of speaking German... this inspired me to finally do something about it!
Yay! I hope you enjoy the Duo experience. As you can tell, I'm absolutely loving it!
