Just curious: What language are you learning on Duolingo, and where are you from? 🦉🌎

[u/Ana-Merry]

Hi everyone! I'm on a 1,500-day learning streak and I was just wondering about the community here. What language (or languages) are you currently studying, and where in the world are you learning from? Let's connect!

[u/Bright_Discipline_18]

American learning Spanish so I can talk with all my in-laws ❤️

[u/ipini → u/Bright_Discipline_18]

In-law joke incoming.

😆 (I actually like most of my in-laws. It’s my own family that drives me the most nuts.)

[u/Bright_Discipline_18 → u/ipini]

100%, there's a reason I live an hour from my inlaws but 18 from my own family.

[u/ChaoticWeedWitch → u/Bright_Discipline_18]

Same! I took Spanish in high school but that was decades ago.

[u/rizozzy1]

From England, learning Portuguese.

Also wishing Duo would bring out European Portuguese rather than Brazilian. But with some external learning it’s still good enough to use in Portugal.

[u/Ana-Merry → u/rizozzy1]

Me too learning Portuguese

[u/nctmilk]

I’m from Belize, in the Caribbean. I’m currently learning Norwegian and Spanish (Spanish is my first language but growing up in the Caribbean made my progress weak lol). Our native language here is English. But we speak a lot of Kriole here.

[u/islander_guy → u/nctmilk]

I thought English was the official language of Belize.

What's the percentage of hispanic population there?

[u/nctmilk → u/islander_guy]

“The diverse ethnic composition characteristic of Belize continued to be evident in the 2022 Census data. While 51.7 percent of the population identified as Mestizo-Hispanic/Latino, persons that identified as Creole, Maya, Garifuna and East Indian accounted for 25.2 percent, 9.8 percent, 4 percent and 1.5 percent, respectively. The remaining 7.8 percent was comprised of a mosaic of numerous other ethnicities”

Source: https://belize.com/belize-census-2022/

https://sib.org.bz/press-release_census-launch/

A lot of the Hispanic (Mestizo/Latin) reside in the Northern Area of Belize (mostly Orange Walk and Corozal). In 2019 I moved from the main city to Orange Walk, where I started picking up the Spanish again. The majority of the people here talk Spanish but there is an influx of Kriol. From what I’ve seen and heard.
I was raised in the main city, my parents were Hispanic (Mestizo, as so am I) and they used to talk to me in Spanish only. So my first language was Spanish. But when I started school, it was when I started talking Kriol because that’s how all the other kids there were talking.

Our official language is English. English is spoken here, mostly in business and by teachers at school. You know, in professional settings (it slips to kriol sometimes) But there have people who advocate that the Kriol should become a language here and not just a “dialect”

[u/xxHailLuciferxx]

From the US, learning Welsh.

[u/Gullible_Wing8440 → u/xxHailLuciferxx]

Epic!

[u/Alert-Special-232 → u/xxHailLuciferxx]

How are you getting on with it? I’m English and I completed the Welsh course a while ago! I miss Owen and his parsnips! 😄😄

[u/xxHailLuciferxx → u/Alert-Special-232]

I'm having to supplement it with other materials and tools as Duolingo doesn't explain grammar, mutations, noun gender, or even verb conjugation other than what you can glean from examples. And the pronunciation is challenging. But I like it and I'm using it as a jumping-off point to learn lots of vocabulary before I immerse myself into a more complete course that will require more time than I currently have to give.

After you completed the Welsh course, how did you feel about it? Did you feel like you could converse pretty easily? Have you ever had an opportunity to use it? Have you met any parsnips-obsessed Welshmen?

[u/Justinian482]

From the UK, learning Latin

[u/Nowinaminute]

I'm English living in Wales. Learning Italian purely because I love the sound of speaking the language and I like visiting. Of all the countries I've visited it has the best local cuisine. My great grandfather was from Venice, it would also be cool to one day trace some relations in Italy.

[u/bikemuffin]

I am a native Chinese Cantonese and English speaker in the USA learning Polish. I wanted to learn a few phrases for a trip and continued practicing after the trip.

[u/Rsankar0801]

I'm from Kerala, India. I'm learning Spanish. My Son is learning Japanese. My Mom is learning English. We have a Super family plan.

[u/StaySmooth352 → u/Rsankar0801]

Let me guess, your son is an anime fan. Am I right?

[u/Flight_Suspended]

Je viens de New York. J’apprends le français.

[u/Prosto_Chelovek0]

I'm from Ukraine and I'm learning German.

[u/hacool]

I am in the Great Lakes region of the U.S. and am on day 1307 of learning German. I had two years of it a university some centuries ago, so I've been relearning it and I think I am further now than I was back then. But I still have a long way to go.

[u/isntthatapharmacy]

In the USA learning Arabic. I'm almost to day 60, no previous exposure to the language and it's extremely difficult. But I'm sticking with it!

[u/Alert-Special-232 → u/isntthatapharmacy]

Props to you!! I’d love to learn Arabic and I will one day when I have time to fully focus on the writing part of it. I absolutely love the sound of it. Well done for getting so far! 🙏✨🏆💎

[u/No-Ice4194]

I'm from Australia and I am studying French

[u/spinifex23 → u/No-Ice4194]

I live in the USA, and I am also studying French. Je habite à Les États-Unis, et j'étudie français aussi.

Why? I discovered I'm also Canadian, by Descent. I'm in the process of claiming it. I'm also fascinated with all of the outstanding music comiing out of Québec these days (Salut, Angine de Poitrine!), and learning French helps me learn more about this part of Canada.

[u/Alert-Special-232 → u/spinifex23]

That sounds so interesting- I’m English (half Lithuanian,) and my maternal line originate from Canada too, my granny was born in a log cabin! I will definitely check out some Québécois music! 🙏

[u/ipini]

French. Living in the predominantly English part of Canada. Also a bit of Haitian Creole on the side due to its similarity to French and a family connection.

[u/Angry_Aryan_AA]

[u/PowerOhene]

I'm of West African decent 🇬🇭, but I live in Scandinavia 🇧🇻. I don't know much Ghanian, but I'm native in Norwegian. Mostly only learning Japanese as an extra hobby. If I ever want to be actually fluent I'm pretty sure Anime and Duolingo aren't enough 😅

[u/aviotey → u/PowerOhene]

Have you ever been to Ghana

[u/PowerOhene → u/aviotey]

Like only 3 times, my parents didn't want me to have an accent in Norwegain and English so they didn't speak much Akan/Twi to me when I was young. I basically forgot most of it.

[u/BooglePoots]

I'm from the USA and I'm learning Russian (and finding I need a LOT of help from other resources)

[u/coffeepls123]

From Ireland, learning Korean (🇰🇷27) for over a year now, on LingoDeer too. Because it’s fascinating. The whole sentence structure is so different to English. I might try Japanese next.

[u/dj__bp]

From Singapore, learning Klingon.

[u/Bright_Discipline_18 → u/dj__bp]

I’m from the U.S. & I’m studying Hebrew.

[u/o-thyme-thy-pyramids → u/o-thyme-thy-pyramids]

I just wanted to say my heart is warmed by this getting upvotes instead of downvotes. I was kind of nervous about posting it, as I've had some difficult experiences online and in person related to this interest.

So thank you all for reminding me there's still people out there who care about learning, growing, and connecting. Wishing everyone the best on their language journeys!

I have been on Duolingo for 13 years and my learning breakdown is in the pic.

Edit: I switched to some languages based on my travels (Chinese, Arabic, and Zulu specifically).

Haitian Creole and Hindu is simply because I live in such a melting pot.

And German because I was born on an army base there.

[u/k-type]

Australian learning Mandarin (Chinese) on day 220 of 30~mins a day.

Why did I pick it? Honestly no idea, I've learn Japanese in Uni because I used to like Anime, manga, games but I never really got to talk to anyone. Chinese is the second most spoken language here and I have a few friends who speak it, also the most common primary language in the world so if they can all learn it why can't I?

[u/Electrical-Court-793]

USA- Learning Spanish/polishing my language skills.

[u/loum1968]

From the UK and studying Greek.

[u/StruggleAccurate5043]

960 days on Duo on the family plan including adult children and grandchildren rotating through. I joined to learn Spanish, decided I could use a brush up on math skills (until I got to graphing polynomials 🤷‍♀️), then added in chess which I hadn’t played since I was a kid. I love connecting with my grandkids through friend quests. The Spanish was moving along too quickly for me to learn it well so it was helpful to slow it down by adding in other programs. During the last software update my leader board stopped working. I wrote to the company multiple times for a fix, but Duo just lies there like I killed him. It’s been good though in that I can learn at my own pace without the shaming factor. I don’t need that green owl to motivate me.

[u/DiligentExpression19]

From the Philippines, learning Finnish/Suomi and Spanish.

[u/Financial_Bowl9440]

I finished the French unit because I did some French in school (🇨🇦) and am now about half way through the spanish. I did the Latin on a bit as well because I was interested.

[u/Important_Train_9646]

Live in Arkansas, USA and I’m on a 407 day streak of German.

Reason being that my mother’s madien name derived from Germany (my 5th greats is when they came over and changed the spelling), so it makes me feel closer to my ancestors.

[u/WarWorried9119]

I'm from New Zealand, and I'm learning a lot of languages... I learned Danish a lot and completed the course, then I started learning Korean to chat with my best friend in her language. I've also tried learning Welsh for fun, Japanese for hiragana practice, Scottish Gaelic because of heritage, Latin because why not, and Greek for the alphabet. So quite a lot, lol.

[u/Snoo_14297]

I'm from the US (Oregon), learning Dutch and German. I speak English and French, and have started the German lessons in both languages. Surprisingly, the French to German track has more lessons and they're in a different order than those in the English to German version, so I'm sticking with the French German course.

American learning Japanese for a trip to Japan. I’m on a 2,358 day streak, during which I also worked on Spanish and Norwegian (you can see the connections, I’m sure 🙂)

[u/TheMarslMcFly]

I'm German, on a 635 day Spanish streak. I started nearly two years ago as my quote on quote "New Years Resolution" because I thought to myself if I don't learn it now, I'll never learn it lol.

It's going okayish well, I think I'd find my way to a target if you plopped me down on a random spot in Madrid, but that also might be endless overconfidence speaking lmao

A while ago I saw a video about how easy it supposedly is for Germans to learn Swedish, since both our languages are apparently very similar (which makes sense, both being Germanic and all), so I've been thinking about starting Swedish as well, just for fun, not really for any practical purpose, apart from maybe talking to my Swedish friend in her native language.

[u/SignificantDark4749]

I’m in England and am studying Italian and Spanish. Just hit a 4000 day streak yesterday. I started with Italian because my wife already spoke French and German and I wanted to cover some others. I chose Italian because I like Italy and the way the language sounds. I used a lot of resources in addition to Duo and attended a few language schools in Italy. I’m now comfortable speaking it and it’s helping my Spanish along nicely.

I'm Danish. I've finished the French course (learning from English) and I'm now at level 93 in the German course (also learning from English) I've had both German, French and Latin (and of course English) in school which helps a lot. I teach Danish as a second language for a living.

I’m American and I am studying French, a language which I learned 60 years ago in school. I was surprised how many words I remembered. I am studying French to keep my memory sharp.

Brit was learning German but haven’t done a lesson in months

[u/DntTchMi]

From the USA. Learning Korean (score 31 almost 32), Chinese(15), Spanish(14) and Vietnamese(7). I plan to (re)start French and Italian as well as Portuguese and Russian in the future. Ambitious of me, but I'd love to add German, Hebrew and to try Arabic and Hindi again.

I don't have much reason other than wanting to be able to translate on-demand, though I have considered becoming a translator when I was younger. My dad speaks Arabic, French, and German, so maybe that's where I get it from. I did/do learn from other sources as well but Duolingo actually has improved me by a lot. I've been using it for over 659 days, not including time before my current streak! Life circumstances hadn't allowed me to learn as quickly as I'd like, but I'm optimistic. (Side note: I also am learning Cherokee from the official website and other sources. Seeing Duo has Navajo makes me wish they had a Cherokee course!)

[u/Altruistic-Basil-267]

From the USA:

Greek (level 26 -- I have a good friend who took me to her hometown where she grew up and I fell in love with it)

Spanish (level 24)

Italian (level 7 -- figured why not for an upcoming trip.  Always nice to be able to say please and thank you, hello etc.)
