An End to Korean (for now)

February 13, 2019 Posted in KoreanLeave a comment

My summer plans are firming up. At this point it looks like I’ll be heading to the Midwest rather than South Korea. Since the language they speak in Indiana and the surrounding areas is English, there’s no immediate need to work on Korean. So far I had taken a beginning swing at the alphabet, but… Continue reading An End to Korean (for now)

Duolingo currently awards a crown when any leaf (skill) on the tree (course) is completed. You can earn up to five crowns per leaf. The maximum number of crowns is dependent upon the… Continue reading Duolingo – 100 Crowns

Weekly posts on language are a bad idea

January 1, 2019January 25, 2019 Posted in FrenchLeave a comment

It didn’t take me long to realize that posting once a week on learning French doesn’t make for a thrilling blog. So I’m not going to do it any more. Sorry,
