Anyone into it? I got a little obsessed at the beginning of lockdown and am up to 16 languages but mileage varies. Hit me up if you want to compete in Greek or Romanian

Wait, you finished the tree in sixteen languages? Damn. I'm not a huge Duolingo guy but that's fucking nuts. Nice.

I apologize if I overstated myself, just love languages. I gave up fantasy football two years ago but cherish my spots now on duolingo leaderboards. Come at me bros!

2 years ago I went nuts with the Spanish. I haven't opened the app up in about 6 months. It's great for learning though.

I'm 400 days into French and still have no idea what I am doing
If you want to get to B1 or B2 the Michel Thomas tapes and Assimil courses can you get you there. Especially if you have some foundation to work from. Thomas especially will teach you like ninety percent of French grammar and you won't forget it.

As for Russian, I learned the value of knowing the Cyrillic alphabet when I was dumbfounded by the english-language Belgrade bus guide which said I had to take bus "L24" (I forget the exact number) and took about a half hour to realize that no such bus existed and I should've been looking for Л24.
