I, too, have been learning Japanese on Duolingo - a little bit each day for over a year now. I wanted to be able to say at least a few bits and pieces when I finally visit Japan this year, and it also seemed like a good way to put my ageing brain to the test. Duolingo is great for learning vocab, but I found myself feeling frustrated when it came to learning grammar, so I started face to face classes, too. I'm a bit surprised, really, by how much I'm enjoying it! I'm not sure it's a great way to prepare for the apocalypse but if that comes to pass, I'll be saying, "かんぱい" !
Lovely of you to share your personal 2023 achievements Jane ! Really interesting & the word curiosity , I am going to reflect on and come up with an idea for 2024 .
No Brisbane dates for 2024 tour , I think a road trip is in order !!
Wishing you and yours a happy and enjoyable 2024 .

Thanks Jane for the inspiring New years message. Hope to see you on your tour . Best wishes

A great post, Jane. Congratulations on your SAG learning. I’m a family history librarian if you need any guidance with your research.
Wow Inspirational
Great achievements Jane. I am at day 295 on Duolingo learning Japanese too!
Happy New Year.
