So… We get our new house on
Friday!!! It’s also Ashley’s wedding on Friday lol. Have been
doing all the pre-move craziness, calling all the utilities and service
providers, dealing with banks and lawyers, fun stuff like that. Whether or not I managed it all? Well – time will tell… Actual move isn't till next Friday :( Which is logistically good, but I Want It NOW!!! *foot stomp* lol I am
pretty excited about the new house though J
Less excited about the new mortgage L
Duolingo released a whole ton of new topics the other
day. So for those not familiar, each topic, has 5 levels. And
each level has 3-20 mini lessons. So that’s a TON of new
content. And once you’ve done level 1 of each, the next area is
open. So I promptly tested out of the first two checkpoints, which
got me to level one of about 13(?) topics and reopened the whole tree so I can
do whichever lessons I want. All good. Lol and I was pretty
pleased to pass J
So then I discovered, that you can also test out of each
level on any individual topic. So now I’m working my way through
those. So what’s the point? Well I figure if I test out of
everything I know, I’m left with the ones I really need to work on.
AND I’ll tell ya, the low levels are pretty painful. There’s only so many
times you can translate “the cat drinks milk” before you want to throw the
phone out the window. The higher topics are complex enough that I’m
still learning and won’t likely manage to test out beyond level 1 or 2.
But it is nice after much effort to see that I can pass a
fair number of them with no errors and no effort. Also nice to now be
able to provide answers in the duolingo forum that helped me through the basics
when I was starting J Of
course, I went and found an intermediate/advanced one and promptly got entirely
lost again. And heaven forbid anybody speak at native-speaker pace.
Even if I know every word I won’t understand any of them *sigh* Lol
but hey, baby steps right?
