About a year ago I used Duolingo to practice for ~20 minutes a day--I had a 60+ day streak going, and then I missed a day and haven't touched it since, and it's been more than a year. Whoops. I should get back on that!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-could-start-studying-any-language-this-fall#post-2292322 Wed, 16 Sep 2015 09:45:45 +0000 .twist. 2292322@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know very little Japanese. I have a great app that teaches it, but I just haven't taken the time to sit down and actually study and listen and do the exercises. I would LOVE to learn Japanese. </p> <p>I would also love to learn Finnish, Swedish or Norwegian. I have Nordic blood, so I'd really like to pretend to be a viking sometimes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-could-start-studying-any-language-this-fall#post-2292320 Wed, 16 Sep 2015 09:44:22 +0000 2PeasinaPod 2292320@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think French!

My husband and I always say that we need a language that the two of us only understand because we can't converse in English, German or Italian without somone understanding.</p> <p>I really loved studying German.
